    Smile Community Service?

    What do you all do for community service, if anything? Has anyone started their own club or group to help others? Any causes you favor?

    My life is blessed and I really feel drawn to help others. Just curious as to what everyone is doing.

    I work on the planning committee for our county's "Relay for Life" which benefits the American Cancer Society. Even though the actual Relay is a once a year event, we work year round with fundraisers.

    I make items for the local homeless shelter, for Balboa's babies (Navy hospital), Pine Ridge Reservation, and our local Marines.

    I also volunteer at various school functions, church activities, and camp when needed.
