Good morning everyone,

I am looking to do charity work for one year straight. Starting in February of 2024 my job is giving me a years salary to go do charity work of any sort.

So my question is, what kind of charity needs help around central Pennsylvania, USA?

I know there are soup kitchens and some popular ones like Habitat for Humanity, but how do I help the ones that might not have as many people helping them?

I apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this, I'm still very new to Lemmy.

Thank you

Wow that's pretty generous of your employer. What industry are you in if you don't mind sharing? Just curious as I've never heard of a company that is willing to shoulder a year's worth of salary for their employee to do something else.

He is a visionary, he just wants things to happen and we're left standing around trying to figure out how to make it work.

We're a siding construction company. I don't know if I'm allowed to share it on the site here. But I can send you a link to who we are what what we're planning to do next year.

When I started here that was a huge selling point for me. They told me about this year off to do community service and I was like, that's beyond crazy. But as we talked about it each week and started seeing the numbers add up, it's insane how easy it is to make it happen.
