They take Denver inner-city teens on weeklong backpacking trips and always need adult volunteers - 5 teens and 5 adults on each trip. I've done it twice and about to fill out my form for this summer! www.bigcitymountaineers.orgJess Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975574195963815502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320820929928408181.post-58812162015577532062009-02-25T09:33:00.000-07:002009-02-25T09:33:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing ladies!

Mostly because Philadelphia has a terrible homeless problem and it is in my face all the time. I have done some work with a Christian organization, as well as independently put together care packages with clothes, food, socks, water bottles, toothbrushes, deoderant ,toothpaste and wet wipes.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have made up plates of leftovers from our dinners and taken them out on the streets and handed them out. And I often will put together a sandwich and snacks and take it out with me when we go for a walk to give away. <BR/><BR/>I have some trouble volunteering with organizations because they won't allow my girls to be there... and I am without any other childcare. When Jay is home... our family time is precious. So where I would like to give more... the little bit of time I give will have to do until my kids are in school. <BR/><BR/>I have tried to volunteer time to animal shelters in teh past... but my heart is too weak. I can not.icancarryallthebagsandthebabiestoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092919063325046800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320820929928408181.post-57392788265517290722009-02-25T09:14:00.000-07:002009-02-25T09:14:00.000-07:00Excellent blog!

I really think volunteering is crucial to our connection and spiritual growth in a community and I haven't found my place in CO yet in that regard. My dad is passionate about wildlife and LOVES his volunteer work with the division of wildlife. I just need to find my cause, I'm wondering if it might also be with animals.Niellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701220651305228870noreply@blogger.com
