There are hundreds of organizations. I volunteer for Operation Shoebox which sends over 500 packages of goodies and personally written letters to troops deployed overseas each week. We support the troops and pray for them. There is Operation Homebound which makes and delivers meals to those who can't get out of their homes. There are pantries which stock food for the poor families in the area. The various churches have either pantry's or food kitchens. St. Vincent de Paul collects gently used articles the last Thursday of each month in the parking lot of St. Timothy Church over on 441/27. You can volunteer at the Villages Hospital. You can volunteer all over the community. Once a week the Daily Sun lists the organizations looking for volunteers along with their telephone numbers.

Personally, I love the work I do with Operation Shoebox. I write letters to the military. Right now we are writing Christmas Cards and getting ready to ship out 35,000 Christmas stockings over the holidays.

Good luck and God bless.
