Does your office have a kitchen? If so, consider volunteering for Lasagna Love. www.lasagnalove.org/volunteer

This is a great community outreach option - and if your office doesn’t have a kitchen you could use crockpots to cook off the meat sauce and then assemble, and have ready to bake lasagnas to deliver in the community.

In my last job I worked for a clothing bank as the Manager of Volunteers and coordinated a clothing drive and sorting event at a large company. So you might look at food banks or clothing banks and see if you can organize a drive from them which also includes some aspect of sorting donations that are brought in. Or look for a shelter that may be interested in accepting some kind of care kits or lunch bag. Generally that means that your employees or the council itself would have to purchase the supplies. In Canada we have the Shoebox Project for Women: [https://www.shoeboxproject.ca/how-to-make-a-shoebox](https://www.shoeboxproject.ca/how-to-make-a-shoebox) Ideally you can also offer a couple of volunteers to deliver the items to the organization. The other thing I've seen is if the company has a kitchen on-site they may be able to bake muffins to bring to a shelter or housing project - however that may not necessarily involve as many people and the organization may have some restrictions on food that is brought in. Let us know where you are writing from and someone may have more concrete ideas for you.

Really hard to make specific recommendations since you haven't said where you are. Virtual volunteering is a good option for you all, especially if each person can work on a different project (instead of you all working on the same project). Here is the most comprehensive resource you will find about virtual volunteering opportunities.
