Help me do some on-campus/correspondence community service!

Hi all! I’ve been lurking for a truly embarrassing percentage of my life, and I’ve got a question that I suspect some Dopers would be helpful with. :slight_smile:

I’m president of a collegiate community service group this semester, and I’m increasingly aware that we’re not really doing much for the community at our club meetings. There’s not much point in going, other than hanging out and signing up for off-campus volunteer projects, which you could do through our Facebook group anyway.

So, I’m looking for community service-type activities that can be done (or at least all/most of the active participation completed) within about an hour, on-campus, by about 20 college students, preferably staying in one room.

A bit of information about us: my group’s non-religious and officially apolitical*. Our emphasis as a group tends to be on projects focusing on hunger/poverty, women’s issues, children’s issues, and cancer awareness/research. We have a lot of international students, most from China, the Dominican Republic, or Africa (mostly Ghana), and a few have said that they’d like to do some projects that affect their home countries; we volunteer with some groups that focus on refugee families, but I’d be glad to do more. A lot of members are very crafty; we could make quilt squares or something. We meet late at night, so…nothing too physically taxing, please.

Some of the things I’ve currently got planned for meetings are: making cards for Make A Child Smile, assembling care packages and writing letters for female soldiers who don’t get mail (going through Any Soldier), making boxes for a supplies drive for the shelter we volunteer with, and helping the college’s facilities department with their water usage audit. Any other suggestions along these lines?

*(Writing letters for Amnesty International would be perfect, but this would probably be considered too political by this group’s sponsoring organization. We’d also be stepping in on the campus AI chapter’s territory, and I don’t want to rumble with my fellow pacifists.)
