It’s a Saturday morning. You’re exhausted from the five strenuous days through which you’ve just barely survived. You have another week ahead and Scooby-Doo is on Cartoon Network. It can be too easy to stay curled in bed until lunch time.

However, there are dozens of outlets through which students can donate a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon.

Here’s a list of some volunteer opportunities around campus and in Raleigh.
