Have you ever volunteered for something? If so, what?

haha, what great timing... just last week i started volunteering at our local animal shelter.  not the first volunteer work i've done (a few random things in high school, and volunteered for the obama campaign earlier this year), but definitely the most challenging.  the shelter is trying to become a no-kill shelter and therefore needs a TON of help and it's hard, hard work.  worth it though - when I see every day how spoiled my family's pets are in comparison to the animals at the shelter - all animals should get the chance to have a loving family just like our pets do, and being housed in a no-kill shelter with volunteers who really care and want to find homes for them gives them a better chance... i'll probably be writing more about the shelter in the near future, as working there is currently draining me of my essence and I'll need to rant at some point or another, but right now... I have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to go there tomorrow and so I need some sleep.
