Call the Veteran Administration and find out what is available.  Your mom wouldn't be able to go into a VA home, unless she is a veteran too.

contact the local habitat for humanity they can send your club out to a site to build a house thats a living monument to the memories of your group anytime you drive by thats in your mind our group of friends helped to build that house or find a church thats feeding the homeless on thanksgiving and offer to serve or work the kitchen as a group or go to a church thats giving food out and offer to help unload trucks or something or go to the salvation army center and offer to collect money at the mall as a group and sing carols together for an hour and raise money for childrens christmas' is that enough ? olde volunteer

Offer your sympathies to the family and offer to do anything that they need. Then follow through since some people have a hard time asking for help. Making sandwiches, snacks, or a casserole is also nice.

I would start off by visiting your local VFW or American Legion. Talk to the services officer and i am sure that he or she will be able to help you.\n\nYou don't need to be a member just a Vet. \n\nI hope this helps.

Get a list of shelters from Co. Welfare. Then call the nearest to volunteer. Keep calling different shelters until someone says "COME ON DOWN!"  Be sure to tell them if you have prior experience in volunteering, if not they will still have something for you to do! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

Maybe you can get help at your local American Legion. They have people to help with these problems. And they'll be on your side.

If you go to church, you could ask you pastor, if you could set up some kind of box where people could donate items. You could also, let your neighbors know your trying to raise money for someone and have a big garage sale. \n\nI don't know what else to say other than, government assistance, for them, and it help out allot to get people back on there feet.\n\nI hope this helps,

you could start with flyers for volunteers in public access areas, eg grocery stores, public offices etc you could use the same technique for donations. website could be another source of gathering volunteers and donations, a volunteer could make the website too, good luck

i volunteer for my local crisis center. I take calls and help people with their problems, most are suicidal, but you get a little bit of everything. I want to start volunteering for a program that goes out to hospitals and they help women who have just been raped.

I would suggest that you contact a Veteran's Service Officer.\nThere is usually one or more in a city building.\nAlso, check with Veteran Organizations such as the American Legion, VFW, DAV, Amvets, etc usually have someone that assists veteran's with filing for benefits.\nYou can find a local VSO at the VA's website http://www.va.gov/\n\nGood Luck

Well, maybe get in touch with an International Organization like the Red Cross and inquire with them, to what you can offer and what the family needs and how you can contribute to thier succesful adventure.\n\nI'm sure there has to be something, like Habitat for Humanity, or some such thing like that...\n\n\nJesse

If you are an able bodied person of age, and you are ALL for the war, then pull out the Yellow Pages, find your local recruiting station, and go sign up.  \n\nThe reason we have an all volunteer force is because you have to WANT to join.  I have no use for people that are all for it, but sit on their computer all day talking about why they  are for it, but yet, do nothing about it.
