I do it weekly. It' the best feeling in the world. The amount of positivity you find at those events (from both the volunteers and those you are helping) is very refreshing. It really turns a sour day into a better one and is a good stress reliever.

I've helped with mobile food pantries, setting up church thrift stores, delivering food and supplies to the homeless, serving at a soup kitchen, picking up litter down the highway, mowing yards and painting houses for single moms and the elderly, gardening, and building houses. I really recommend everyone tries it. It changes your outlook on life.

Also, I'm married, so this doesn't apply to me, but it's a great place to meet women. I've had two volunteers ask me out during these things (in each case I didn't have my wedding ring on due to the hands-on work we were doing). It shouldn't be your main motivation, but it is a good opportunity to meet people.
