text: Don't believe what "somebody told you."  Volunteer organizations appreciate any and all comers irrespective of the strings attached.  They are generally resource-constrained and way too pragmatic to care if you are only doing it to "look good."\n\nTry a homeless shelter that is serving food that day or Meals on Wheels that will deliver to shut-ins that day.  Alternatively, call a Nursing Home and ask if you can come visit with people who may not otherwise have company that day.  There are tons of opportunities for you here.  God Bless you for doing this.
