Community Service Activities
Looking for ideas to help out around your community? Why not give some of the following a try – they range from simple five minute activities to longer term ones.
- donate old books/textbooks to your local library (i.e., pass on the gift of knowledge);
- clean out your closet and give clothes to your local goodwill centre;
- share/post pictures of your community on the Internet (i.e., encourage others to visit your community);
- remove old posters from that light pole or mural you pass everyday on the way to work;
- stop hoarding those plastic bags and return them to your local grocery store (and then start using your reusable grocery bags);
- pick up one piece of litter everyday – there’s some in your ditch, stuck to your fence, or flying around your local park;
- give someone a hug – everyone needs a hug; and/or
- hold a garage sale and donate the proceeds (including leftovers) to a local charity.
