I am sure the volunteerism depends on the area of the country that you find yourself in. My city, has many volunteer organizations and my church provides many ministries to care for people and their circumstances. Plus many other churches do as well.
As far as taking care of yourself, definitely. I "try" to stay with Philippians 4:8,
"...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Go get them nails done, girl!
