Good morning everyone,

I am looking to do charity work for one year straight. Starting in February of 2024 my job is giving me a years salary to go do charity work of any sort.

So my question is, what kind of charity needs help around central Pennsylvania, USA?

I know there are soup kitchens and some popular ones like Habitat for Humanity, but how do I help the ones that might not have as many people helping them?

I apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this, I'm still very new to Lemmy.

Thank you

Good luck. Ever since I stopped being a teenager every application I have put in for charity work has been declined followed by a request for money.

What the hell. I feel like actual hardwork should be worth way more than just money.

Maybe different in America, but here in Finland I've never been asked to pay myself so I could volunteer. And I've been in few different places. And I also haven't needed to provide any kind of CV to do volunteering (nobody has asked for such information).

Sometimes I'm offered free food, free products, free fun time and even one-time payments (they pay me - which I still find strange since I haven't gotten used to it!).
