2) Meet Me at the Bridge

3) A Helping Hand
(http://www.ahelpinghandnc.org) : If you prefer to work with a more mature age group, the organization “A Helping Hand” is looking for volunteers to help with their program. Basically, volunteers will be paired up with senior citizens in the local area who may be in need of assistance with household chores, running errands, or simply wanting companionship. It’s a really great way to develop friendships with people living out in the surrounding community and also meet some of their needs.
