If I didn't have to work & was not otherwise unable, I would volunteer for sure! I would do all sorts of things, such as delivering meals to the elderly or shut ins &/or visiting them so they get some social interaction. I would do just about anything to help animals. I would tutor anybody, children through adult in whatever I could including music. I'd even provide free babysitting to single mom's or other's that needed emergency help.

I recently read a comment in one of my discussions about a man who needed someone to watch his terminally ill wife while he worked & no one they knew would help, even for pay, they just kept saying, "not right now". He ended up having to hire strangers who turned out were stealing a dying woman's pain medication!!! I replied I would have watched her and I really would have! I would even do it for one of the neighbors I barely know! That seems like a wonderful way to volunteer, too, so I am adding it here.

There are lots of things I haven't even thought of, but I do know I would volunteer! There is always something you can find that you can help with & would want to do, it's just a matter of finding what that is.

I do work, but I also volunteer. I volunteer 1-2 mornings per week in the summer and 5 in the winter at the SAFE House. The reason for the varying days is due to my business getting slow in the winter...it picks up in the spring, summer and fall. I also work with the children in the Child Center (our local children's center for runaways, removal from parents, etc.). I started a program for them to come into the business once per week for an hour to make their own decals, signs or to learn skills for future jobs. If I did not work...I would probably add to my time at SAFE, work with the kids in an outdoor setting and learn how to do the grant writing for both agencies.

I'm not sure where I would volunteer, but yes, I would absolutely volunteer if my schedule allowed me more time.

I volunteer - but would love to do more. I use work as an excuse not to do more. I would love to volunteer more and being retired would give me time to do that - but that's a ways in the future.

Yes I would definitely volunteer. I use to volunteer before and I have looked into stuff in my area. I need to get at again soon.

I would because i would get bored.

I have tons of hobbies, a kid, and could easily keep myself busy regardless of whether I was working or not. Still I can easily see myself volunteering (I've done it in the past), I think it's a great way to be involved in something and to help others out.

If I didn't NEED to work to pay the bills and such I would do what I do for a living, pet grooming at animal shelters and sanctuaries and foster pet parents' homes. I love my job and the thought of providing my furry "clients" with all the bells and whistles without having to charge for every single thing makes me happy. Animals give so much, and ask us for nothing in return. It's such fun to treat them well and pamper them- and to help the ones who haven't had theexperiece of being the center of someone's attention and cared for in a while.

I would even find a way to give free grooming to pets whose families just can't afford regular grooming.
