Thanksgiving volunteer work?

We wanted to do something the day after Thanksgiving that is also age-appropriate for a 5-year old. Do you think he is old enough to help out at a soup kitchen? Can you think of something else we could do?

Re: Thanksgiving volunteer work?

I don't think a soup kitchen is appropriate for a 5-year old. They can get hurt in the kitchen and the soup kitchen's won't let kids help out front in the serving area.

Sadly, I don't have any other suggestions though. It's hard with such a little one to find something that would be safe for them and wouldn't be too boring.
