I am looking to do some volunteer work maybe on a saturday morning for maybe 3 hours. You know i just want to give alittle back. Does anyone know where i can even look to find places that are looking for volunteers in the community.
Thank you:

Not really specifically Saturdays but if you have elderly neighbors you can always help them clean their sidewalks and driveways when it snows.

Shovel snow, walk dogs for the Humane Society, sort at the food bank, clean my truck etc...

What do you want to do?
Hospitals/hospices are always accepting new volunteers.
You can also sign up to be a snow angel like twincamturbo said, and shovel driveways.
Salvation Army/Inn From the Cold/Meals on Wheels always needs people to wash up/set tables for their meals as well.
I did one with Meals on Wheels, really changed my perspective on homeless people, 99% of them were unbelievably grateful just for a hot meal. Really gave me perspective.

Call or check out the websites for In From The Cold, or The Mustard Seed. I forge the name of the big drop in center downtown, but I'm sure they could always use volunteers.

Maybe try the calgary drop in center? I've volunteered there a few times.
Go here->http://thedi.ca/volunteering/
and fill out the form for individuals. When I volunteered there it was just serving meals for people, pretty fun actually if you can get a group to go.
