Similarily, All Saints which is a church located in Pontiac along with various other churches are known for charitable works. I remember being a kid helping in the kitchen of All Saints on holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving seeing various people taking advantage of the food give-aways. I enjoyed to see the joy in their eyes and hope in there hearts for better days. Anything charitable related I enjoy doing just because it's the right thing to do.

Volunteer Organizations could be any group that freely works towards a simple good cause. The causes vary, but a popular cause is of course food distribution towards needed families. I vividly remember my parents and members of our church who would make extra food boxes and give them to random people of need. It kind of worked as if it was a small organization due to the many others who found out and assisted with going over board and doing more for the needed. My parents along with other group members for years assisted in this form of a volunteer organization.
