* JerkassRealization: Daria was not going about her volunteering in the right way at all, first by scaring one woman by reading inappropriate material and then patronizing an old man until he unplugged his respirator to get her to stop. It's only when Mrs. Blaine, a deaf woman who couldn't hear Daria, reached out and asked her to read some more by saying "You have such a pretty voice," that Daria realizes how badly she was handling this. When the mandatory volunteering period ends, Daria keeps devoting time to reading with Mrs. Blaine who's simply happy for the company.
* TheMillstone: Sandi completely derailed the Fashion Club's plans to donate clothes to the homeless by being entirely too picky and judgmental about the whole thing, while Quinn was the first to ask when they'd decide which of ''their'' clothes they didn't want anymore to give away and later on when the clerk at their favorite store recommended a discount bin they could shop from.
* NoodleIncident / OutOfFocus: We hear about Jane's volunteer work with children at the hospital, but she doesn't get her own subplot about it.

* EvenBeggarsWontChooseIt: The reason the Fashion Club won't take almost anyone's clothing donations for the homeless is that if they won't wear it, they won't donate it to the homeless. The trouble is they have very high standards for what constitutes great fashion and end up donating a chain belt and go-go boots.

For Awareness of Others Week, everyone at Lawndale High is required to sign up for a volunteer activity. While Quinn and the Fashion Club try to collect clothes for the homeless (while being far too selective), Daria joins Kevin and Brittany in reading to senior citizens. It turns out nobody at the nursing home likes Daria, however, due to her flat voice. Eventually she does manage to find one old woman who appreciates her (who is either senile or deaf), and continues to volunteer even after the week is over.
