Does shovelling my driveway count for my community service?
No. Activities such as babysitting siblings and performing chores at home may not be used as community service as you are not assisting others in the community. Shovelling the snow/raking for an elderly neighbours who can’t do it for themselves; or babysitting for a needy family would count as community service. Babysitting or working for free in lieu of payment does not generally count as service as it is no benefit to the community, but rather supporting the pocket book of the person who is receiving the service for free.
