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

    I seen this in companies that give a sabbatical year at the 5-year or maybe 7-year anniversary.

    But most often a gap year is when a company’s exercising a non-compete, so you can do whatever you want for the year and get your base salary, but you can’t work for a competitor. And some people will use that year to take a long vacation, or volunteer, anything that doesn’t bring income in. Because usually in these circumstances any income you get is detracted from your base salary. So there’s no incentive to make money for that year.
