Find a local organization that helps the homeless, and offer yourself as free IT help for a full day (or three).
You may not be an IT guy, but you are computer savvy. You'll be invaluable for jobs like:
- cleaning crapware off computers
- removing spyware/viruses and installing antivirus
- fixing email issues
- networking printers
- answering questions about Excel, Word, and so forth
By helping this way, you'll improve the productivity of the organization drastically, which will have a real impact you can feel good about. Best off, your contribution will act as a multiplier, lasting well beyond the initial time you'll put in.
