One of the easiest things to do to help people is give money (if you have it to give)... one of the hardest is to give your time! Most volunteer organisations that I've ever dealt with needed both money/material & people. When they put out a call for extra donations, they got it. When they needed people, everyone was busy. So kudos big-time for thinking that way. When I did financial counseling, I always told people with no spare money they could still make tremendous contributions by volunteering their time.
As for WHAT you should do... try a number. Most organisations are more than happy to give you a walk through and a trial period to see if you're a good fit for their particular ministry.
My greatest respect goes out to those helping children... disadvantaged, handicapped, or with severe medical problems. I can not do that because I simply can't deal with a neglected/abused/injured/handicapped child... life just shouldn't be that way for them. But those who can... are incredible people without exception.
