I convene with Veterans who live in the hospital, and help serve food at a church for the homeless or hungry.

I make annual donations to certain charities, One is an Indian reservation School, one is Boys Town, several are to veteran organizations, one to a Police memorial fund... these charities get a nice check every year. And there are other one time deals we donate to. Used to do volunteer time at several places but the wifes health keeps me closer to home these days... I served as Commander of the Local American Legion for 5 years, I probably "donated" hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars a little at a time. Again I gave up the position to be able to spend more time at home taking care of my Army Brat, Army wife, who never had a complaint in all those years and deployments....

I give to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the National Kidney Foundation. It's personal for me. My mom was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child and was on kidney dialysis when she passed at 35 yrs old.

And i'm an organ donor, if anything is still usable when my time comes. :)

Blood and pheresis donor ever since ET-A school in 1967 when they instituted vampire liberty enabling you to avoid standing out in the hot sun for hours during the monthly Captain's inspections at Treasure Island. Also listed as an organ donor.
