Hello,

I'm Jim. I am a 60 year old single resident here in The Villages. I'd appreciate any advice you could give me in terms of volunteering this Thanksgiving and through the holidays.
Our Father just passed away up in Chicago a few months ago and that's usually where I spent the holidays. My siblings have now decided to spend their time with their spouses families during the aforementioned time(s). Of course they invited me but I passed. Dads passing is too recent for me to go up there without seeing him. I haven't made any real friends here yet, so that's out.
I've decided to volunteer my time these holidays. Feed and serve the less fortunate this Thanksgiving, collect Christmas presents for kids, etc..
I've delved into this with some Google searches but aren't finding anything local.
Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,
Jim
