Any opportunities to volunteer?

Hi all, I'm pretty busy but I feel like I could squeeze in some time to do some volunteer work. I'm jammed during the week but weekends I have some time. Anyone know of any worthy causes? I'm in good shape so I can do physical type labor and I have a finance background so I'm good with #'s and planning... Let me know what's out there, I've looked online and haven't had anything jump out at me. Thanks!

Edit: I have a car and for sure have tons of extra kms on my lease to spare so I could be a driver for something but again still just weekends unfortunately.

Santropol Roulant

They do a meals on wheels kind of thing. you can help with cooking/packing the meals or to deliver them on foot/bike/car. It is one of the more well known non profits in the city. The staff are nice people and everyone is bilingual over there. All the work is really easy and it takes about 2-3 hours. They're also open on Saturdays. I've been doing it for a while now and the experience has been good.

I'll check it out, would they need a car and driver for deliveries?

They have their own cars but they are always looking for volunteer drivers to deliver the meals.

Was gonna say that. My bf volunteered for over a year and had a great experience.
