There was one time that I fondly remember. When I was younger my dentist died in a hit and run accident where he was riding his bike. There was then a massive bicycle marathon in the area that was in his memory and helped fund the charity organization that he funded. My dad and I participated in it. I wouldn't actually call it community service though, as it was more for charity than doing an activity that directly helped the community.

Community Service, or lack thereof
To be 100% honest, I have never done community service. The only time that I volunteered to work for no money was at a rock concert selling merchandise. And to be honest we didn't do much, we just hung around because people just went straight into the stadium. I never volunteered, mainly because I didn't have time, especially my last two years of high school, where I was going to school and working 30-40 hours a week. I don't have a strong passion for any communal issue, which I guess also contributes to my lack of service.
