I agree Sam. My idea of volunteering is exactly that .. something to nourish the soul! Offering to visit someone for a chat and really listen to them, get them groceries, drive them to an appointment or perhaps read to them. Services that a handyman wouldn't normally perform.

It is the volunteering with love that is priceless.
