Recent disaster relief efforts aside, what are some well regarded
charities in the area that would be happy to accept a volunteer's time

non-political, and would like to see our efforts make a lasting
difference, as opposed to the "give a man a fish" mentality of soup
kitchens, etc.
If you prefer building houses, even if you don't have handyman skils,
consider Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is not just "give a man a fish"
as recipients of Habitat houses spend hundreds of hours working on their
house with the volunteers, and are required to pay for the cost of
building materials with a mortgage. See, for example,
http://www.habitatwake.org/
Also, the construction boss and director of volunteers, a guy named Mike Dasher, is a stand-up sort. I've known him for most of his life, and think you'll probably like working with him.
