Make sure the corners are not folded and the bill is flush with the slot. 

The Salvation Army is a great place to bolunteer. I would encourage that you check them out.

>> Hi all,
>> 
>> First, a very happy new year to my fellow Community Service Division
>> members. With the beginning of the new year, I thought we could do something
>> fun that will hopefully also encourage people to get more involved in their
>> communities throughout 2015 and beyond.
>> 
>> Tell us about an organization?local or national?that you really, really want
>> to volunteer with. Maybe it?s one that you?ve known about for some time but
>> just haven?t approached yet to see about volunteering, either because you?re
>> not sure how you would do some of the tasks, you?re not sure you have time,
>> or you?re hesitant for some other reason. If you don?t already have an
>> organization in mind, look around on the Internet a bit for organizations in
>> your community and see what you find that sparks your interest. I?ve found
>> that www.greatnonprofits.org is a great resource for all kinds of nonprofit
>> organizations all over the country that may be in need of volunteers. I love
>> cats, and when I lived in Denver last year, I found a small no-kill cat
>> shelter on GreatNonprofits that I never would have found otherwise.
>> GreatNonprofits also has reviews from volunteers about what it?s like to
>> volunteer for specific organizations.
>> 
>> Remember to think big:  When you?re thinking about or looking for your
>> organization, focus on something that you?re really passionate about, that
>> makes you think ?Wow, that sounds amazing! I really want to do that!? Don?t
>> worry if you?re not sure how to do some of the tasks or if some of the tasks
>> seem intimidating. That?s what we?re all here for (more on that in just a
>> bit *smile*).
>> 
>> Once you?ve picked an organization, tell us about it--what it is, what it?s
>> about, and why its mission, values, focus, or anything else about it speaks
>> to you and makes you absolutely want to volunteer there. If you have any
>> questions or concerns about volunteering there or about any of the tasks
>> that volunteers may typically do there, feel free to ask them. That?s where
>> all of us on this list come in. Ultimately, my hope is that the sharing and
>> networking that happen here will result in more people finding organizations
>> to volunteer with and more opportunities to give back to their communities.
