Anyone else get pulled in by something small? I got hooked after a neighbor needed rides to chemo — ‘one Saturday turned into a habit’. If you’re unsure where to start, book one two-hour shift at a local pantry to test the waters; if crowds aren’t your thing, try behind-the-scenes tasks like data entry — it’s like leg day for kindness, but shorter.
