Community Service is a donated service or activity that is done by an individual or group of people for the benefit of the public or its institutions. Performing community service is not the same as volunteering, since it is not always done voluntarily.
Some examples of community services are done through court ordered requirements, school mandates and in lieu of military service.

The National Community Service Silver Dollar of 1996 honored the spirit of vulunteering in the United States. Because of a backlash by collectors due to the fact that the number of commemoratives had really increased, Congress passed a law that after this years programs have run their course no more than two commemorative programs could be approved a year.
