HandsOn Sacramento is the best place to look if you are interested in volunteering in the city (or anywhere nearby - they cover the whole region). They have a (free!) website where you can make a profile and sign up to volunteer. They partner with almost all nonprofits in Sacramento, so if you are interested in serving food, helping animals or bettering parks/neighborhoods (or anything really), you can check online to see what/when the next project is. They also host some big, city-wide events, like volunteering on MLK Day. Those are pretty fun because so many people show up.There is a Hands On (whatever city) in many places all over the country.
