Give the Greatest Gift: 10 Places to Give Your Time

It's the season of giving, and that doesn't just mean shiny gifts wrapped with ribbons and topped with bows.

The best gift you can give is one of time and there are plenty of organizations and groups in the village  that are always looking for new volunteers to keep valuable community service programs moving forward and growing.

Start the New Year off by fulfilling that resolution to give back in 2011.

Patch offers up the following list of 10 organizations that always need volunteers. If we've missed a group you know of, please email us at judy.mottl@patch.com and we'll add it to the list.

Don't forget that you can also post announcements about your organization and highlight events in Patch's events section with just a few mouse clicks. If you need help, again just shout out on the Patch front door or email us and we'll make sure we get it on the site.
