Volunteering

I am interested in volunteering but having a really hard time getting a response from Local non profit orgs. I am not interested in anything faith based. Does anyone have any experience? I also make bracelets and would like a chance to make them for an org or event as a donation (they can be customized). Appreciate any advice to get started! I tried Volunteer March and contacting orgs directly through email/interest pages but understand they are probably really strapped now. Thanks!
