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 theses 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

I have been thinking of this myself, but, need to find something I really enjoy doing. ie. anything local with animals... so Rescue's, Sanctuary, Animal services, or Local Veterinarians always need volunteers. Do you like to sing? plenty of singing groups you can join, or single groups that are teaching dancing. Meet people and make friends... its a wonderful place here.. .HAVE FUN whatever you do, make it your fun happy
