Assuming you're in America, I recommend Habitat for Humanity.

You're giving a family a home and the equity in that home that can legitimately change their lives for the better.

Plus you learn useful skills (home repair is always good to know), it's decent exercise, and it's HIGHLY social as well.

I think that anybody who resonates with what this author talks about should consider volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. As a software developer by day and a volunteer on the weekends, I find that doing manual labor building a house for a family that needs one is a great way to work off stress. You also get a sense of accomplishment not only in the work that has been done but in the fact that you've helped the less fortunate with your skills and labor.
