The typical answer is to perform in nursing homes etc. It is a nice way to give back to the community.

Many years ago my daughter’s music teacher used to do an annual music marathon where the kids played for a certain amount of time and their time was sponsored and the money they raised went to a charity.

So people could give the charity $N per hour the kid played. It was a fun event - the playing was only practice playing (not performing) and the kids loved all playing together yet apart (they would play whatever they wanted in practice rooms within the studio)

I would imagine creating/running this type of event would be a nice community service activity. They always did this for a children related charity (local ARC or children cancer support or autism…)
