22. I volunteered for 2 years at my county food share program, delivering boxes of food to households in need.

Had to stop in June for a hip replacement, so no more delivery duty for me, but I will go back soon to pack boxes or whatever they need done.

For the record, of all the households I delivered to (7-9 every week), I never saw any that I would say weren't "deserving" of help. They were elderly, disabled, or very much in need. The need out there is HUGE!
