Every June, the dept at work with, we spend a week prepping and painting a vet's, disabled or eldery person's home.
Last year our dept in the fall had a carnival for the preschool kids at Neighborhood House.
The battered women's shelter, some friends and I each took a room and decorated and made them nicer.
The company I work for also lets us take paid time off to work projects for United Way. Painted the interior of the Indian Walk in Center, tied ribbons for the Aids Foundation, cleaned up schools, cleaned, painted shelters, one of my favorite years round things to do, is baking cakes and having small birthday parties for the kids at the shelter.
