Greater Cleveland Food Bank

You and your partner are an unstoppable team. He’s the Superman to your Wonder Woman. So use those powers for good at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, which needs volunteers six days a week. Work together with others to cook meals or pack to-go lunch sacks for the 228,000 Clevelanders the Food Bank serves weekly. “That’s going to instill a sense of community, teamwork and accomplishment,” says volunteer services manager Alan Fratus. Plus, he admits, it’s a great time. “We have music playing in the kitchen, and the employees and staff make it a lot of fun,” he says. “It’s satisfying work that impacts the folks in the community.” 15500 S. Waterloo Road, Cleveland, 216-738-2265, greatercleveland-foodbank.org

After: Refuel at Six Shooter Coffee, a small-batch, micro-roaster with South American-sourced beans. It’s the kind of place you can feel good about supporting. 16021 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, 216-762-1180, sixshootercoffee.com
