Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of volunteering and charity as forms of social service. The authors of the work point out that social service can be considered not only as a moral category, but also as a sphere of professional activity. Turning to the practices of social service, it can be noted that they are volunteering (voluntary activity) and charity. These social practices are voluntary activities of citizens aimed at providing social and psychological assistance to those in need. Volunteering and charity unite people, solidifies them in front of a common problem, and also allows citizens to show a sense of empathy, love, altruism and social responsibility - to grow spiritually and morally and serve for the benefit of society.
