Is an online webpage considered community service?

I created a facebook page specifically to help the people in my city who lost their pets.

The description of the page is:

"A page dedicated to finding the owners of lost pets in or around our community. If you have or have found a lost pet, please post pictures so we can be sure to notify the community through facebook."

I basically spread the word through facebook by posting pictures of lost or found pets. We get actual people who've lost their pets, we post pictures of any stray dogs or animals we see. We look online on pages like craigslist to find lost/found pets and spread them through facebook. I can't honestly say if it's successful, but I do have 70 members and at most reached 221 people by posting.

Would this be considered community service or no?

    Considered community service by whom?

    By your high school that requires community service? PRobably not.

    By a college or university? Only if you can honestly say if it IS successful - how many pets have you reunited with families? If you can't say that, then it's just a nice, but ineffectual, thing to do.

    There is no such thing as online or webpage community service do everything the legal way and check out this charity.

    Theres a charity that will allow you to pay off your community service

    hours my brother and a friend used them how it works is if you have 80

    hours it equals $80.00 you can make a donation threw there website and

    they send you out your paperwork, we looked into this charity first before

    making a donation to make sure they were legal and yes indeed they are a

    501c3 nonprofit charity they are called Uplifting Kids they are a charity

    my brother was soooo happy because it kept him from going to jail, the

    courts was not trying to offer him an extention so he paid them off he

    emailed and called them and someone got back to him right away he needed

    this paper from the charity like asap and they charged him for the

    overnight which between 40.00 and 45.00 dollars and an expedited charge of

    $50.00 , they did a professional letterhead and sent it out to him, he was

    toooo happy and he took the paper to the courts and everything was ok they

    are also court approved all over the world I couldnt be more pleased with

    this charity they saved my brothers and his friends freedom from going to

    jail, they also have alot of other programs if you can't afford to pay the

    hours off you can do a fundraise you can reach them by via email at

    email@upliftingkids.org and also by phone at 1-855-581-9111 and there

    website is www.upliftingkids.org call them they can help you and if you

    need a professional letterhead urgent then let them know, I wouldn't try

    theses other places online they are not legit this is the only one i could

    find for my brother that is legit and not a scam and they followed threw

    with a tracking number and we signed for the document so check them out

    however you can't get no refunds if you decide not to go with them. They

    are doing great things for people all over the world and kids. Check them

    out they are even open late hours they help with court community service

    and also school community service as well, you can also do a fundraise for

    your hours they have alot of pretty cool programs they are great oh not to mention they are also on the Irs website as well to verify this charity

    Great Idea!

    Whether or not this excellent endeavor will qualify for community service by the people requiring you to complete the hours is a question only they can answer. If we say Yes, and it doesn't, following our advice could hurt you.

    Why not add volunteering with local shelters http://www.petshelters.com/ and add their websites/FaceBook pages to your FaceBook page to spread your services. Others could do the same!

    Wishing you much success!

    i think of you misunderstand what a content administration equipment does. A CMS does not layout pages for you; incredibly, it renders pages in accordance to the layout built into it (which you would be able to change, once you're so vulnerable). As to the stairs you %, you may come lower back up with a employer that has a existence like hazard of succeeding and then hire somebody to construct the technologies for you. Disappointing, i understand. yet while it have been achievable to attain a technical field without technical expertise, we'd all be dot-com millionaires...
