Maybe you could volunteer at an old folks home. There are lots of lonely old people that never get any visitors and would be delighted to have someone show an interest in them, play cards, read with them or whatever. I used to work in one and it broke my heart that i couldnt spend as much time with them as they wanted and needed. Big hugs to you!

maybe to large a group, the nursing home setting, but good idea. maybe if you are up to it, perhaps you could visit senior citizens in your area that are atill in their homes, but need help and assistance, like those getting meals on wheels.
maybe try mentoring. be a big sister to a troubled kid that needs some guidance and a bit of caring.
