I need 16 hours out of 32 hours specifically of trash pickup community service to satisfy the conditions of my probation from court. I checked the phone books and internet and found nothing within an hour of my town. I talked the information desk at the courthouse, who said to talk to the probation office. The Probation office said to go to a police station, the police station said to go to the courthouse or pick a job off their list of non-profit organizations. The only job that would work on the list did not exist at that address. It was a dentist office.

I am sick of getting the run-around by all these people. Any ideas on where to go next, or is it possible the probation office might allow me to substitute those hours for something else?
 
It can be such a hassell dealing with gov. The thing is part of this process is making you work hard to just get this accomplished, so you need to look deeper. Call the dept of highways and ask if they have anything to do. Call the dept of public transportation and ask them. Dont drag your feet and not get this done, you may have to pound the phones. Noone is being super helpful as that too is part of the plan to get you to hate getting into trouble. Think around your community, what area is realy needing some help, say the local library is pretty bad outside, go speak to someone at the library, and see if a deal can be struck, I do know that libraries use to do inside volunteer work, my son had to years ago, they might allow outside help too. I would call a local old folks home and see if they need their outside area to have trash pickedup. Check with a local boys and girls club, depending on your charges, if they would consider you a high risk person to be near children, then do not offer to help those areas. You can also call the mgmt company of some vacant land that is for sale and see if they would like thier land cleaned up, one of these ideas if not a few, should be able to help you get your hours, be friendly and patient, dress appropriately when you go to meet the places that you want to work with too. Looks do matter, and so does a smile.
