Every fall, my college cancels classes for one day and sends students out into the community to volunteer. Its usually just in the morning, but this year there was a blood drive and a tug of war competition to raise money for the American Red Cross. My group cleaned mildew off of a chapel for the local children's home. Not exactly life saving, but I think we left the place much cleaner than how we found it.
