Looking for some community service ideas for our group...we've got about 20 members that are ready and willing to work. We're spread out all over the state so we'd like to meet on a Saturday in Columbus and lend a hand somewhere...

If this is going to be an ongoing thing, keep me in mind and shoot me a PM in the Spring. We are always looking for volunteers at Pedal Instead. We can't accommodate 20 at a time in a single event (maybe one of these days we'll have that many bikes) but at our busier ones we can do chunks of 5-6 a shift or can spread the love if we have 2-3 events in a weekend.

jbCBUS - Columbus Gives Back (columbusgivesback.org) might have some options for your group. They're going to the Welcome Warehouse in Dublin this Saturday and the Mid-Ohio Foodbank on the 10th. Joe at joeg@columbusgivesback.org is the new contact with the group.
You may also want to check out the Mid-Ohio Foodbank (http://www.midohiofoodbank.org/), Habitat for Humanity ReStore (http://www.habitatcolumbus.org/) or furniture Bank of Central Ohio (furniturebankcoh.org). I've had good experiences bringing large groups there.
Finally, you can look at Hands on Central Ohio (http://www.handsoncentralohio.org/) for additional opportunities and resources.

If the group is up for a road trip, I recommend helping out Monday late morning-early afternoon at the Feed My Sheep food pantry in western Athens County. It's located in Mineral on St. Rt. 356. Athens is the most impoverished of the 88 counties in Ohio, and the food pantry there always needs donations, and people to help pack and distribute them.
For more information, call Jacques Angelino at (614) 439-0245, or contact Rev. Ray Ogburn of Faith Believers' Ministry at ray@faithbelievers.org.
Especially important now are blankets, winter clothes, and hams and/or turkeys for Christmas.
