Look into Mercy Home. Not sure what opportunities exist during Covid, but they have various volunteer programs

I volunteered with some of the following pre covid so don't know what they look like from a volunteer perspective now, but in the same situation where it was more when i could vs a commitment and just me.
1. Onebrick (they'd have social activity before or after an event, great way to get to know people too)
2. habitat for humanity Chicago
3. greater Chicago food depository
4. Bernies Book Bank (lake bluff)
