If your attendees want to support a great cause between meetings – or you want to provide a truly worthwhile team-building experience – you’ve come to the right place. San Antonio rolls out the red carpet for volunteer groups, with many local charities welcoming everyone from animal lovers to tutors.

Here are just a few of the charitable causes attendees can donate their time and energy to, gaining a feeling like no other in return:

•    Interact with furry friends at Animal Care Services, where you can walk, groom or simply socialize with pets, or help clean out their housing areas.

•    Tutor or mentor children at the Boys & Girls Club of San Antonio, which also needs volunteers who can teach skills like photography and sewing.

•    Join the fight against hunger by helping inspect, sort, shelve and distribute food for the San Antonio Food Bank.

•    Pick up a shift at the Battered Women & Children’s Shelter’s donation center or boutique.

•    Help in the office or warehouse of the city’s Haven for Hope program, providing social services – from a child-care center to a credit union – to help meet the needs of San Antonio’s homeless community.
