Volunteer by offering helping hands.

Do you ever see homeless people and feel overwhelmed by your inability to make a difference? Even if you can't help them all or change their long-term situation in life, you can do a lot with one small act. Buy a pair of gloves, provide a spare blanket, or make up food parcels for someone who is living on the cold streets, or provide them to any organization that serves the homeless.
Another way to volunteer is to clean up trash in public places without being asked. The next time you see someone littering,don't just shake your head and look the other way. Be kind, pick up the litter, and throw it away. While you're at it, look around the street for any other trash that needs to be removed. If you take a walk, take a plastic grocery bag so you can collect the trash that would otherwise just make you unhappy, and know that you're doing a random act of kindness for the people who will come through after you!
