Some of the posted volunteer opportunities listed on my career website (Mr. Rhodes's website... Go to LHS college and career) under "guide to community service" can be done at home, such as hosting a donation drive (of a variety), making cat blankets, etc. . 

Did you know there are opportunities to earn your 20 required community service hours AND practice social distancing at the same time?  That’s right!  You can volunteer and make a difference without ever leaving your house!
