You jest, but serving at soup kitchens and doing delivery for things like Meals on Wheels are actually very popular volunteer opportunities that Airmen get in their junior ranks. They serve as community bolstering, mostly selfless acts, sometimes "get you out of work" for a short period (breaks up the day, if nothing else), and great entry-level quantifiable statements on annual reports (# hours, # served, etc.).

I'm sure the Army/Navy/Marines partake in similar things, if not identical.

Source: Active duty for ~13 years. I delivered hundreds of meals and served thousands in my lowly junior-enlisted days. :)

Next they should film themselves feeding the homeless.

So they can go blow it on drugs or liquor. Nah.
