Assuming you're in America, I recommend Habitat for Humanity.

You're giving a family a home and the equity in that home that can legitimately change their lives for the better.

Plus you learn useful skills (home repair is always good to know), it's decent exercise, and it's HIGHLY social as well.




Do note that Habitat is fundamentally Christian:

Had no idea. Honestly I've done volunteer work for them for years now and never heard this brought up in any way.

Definitely not forced on you and not any sort of requirement to join/volunteer.


Yeah, the bottom of the page there also says they don't proselytize.
