Yeah, I tell you I feel wealthy now that I can give away more to the food pantry and homeless shelter. And I am looking at a couple of other places to start donating to as well! And of course that is thanks to CM.
For those who can't get out because of gas prices or car problems, you can still make a phone call or write a letter to an older person or someone who is shut in. Your time (and concern) is valuable to them.
Another opportunity that could serve the whole community is to volunteer at your local library. My DMIL volunteered at her library until she was in her 80s! She took books to older folks who could not drive. She loved serving those people. They were still interested in reading too. She took loads of books to them.
