The best volunteer groups are usually less interested in sounding heroic than in knowing who brought the extra boxes and where the sign-in sheet went.
These names keep the focus on showing up, helping locally, and working together, with options for schools, neighborhoods, nonprofits, and one-day events.

Choose a name that fits the group
If the group serves through an established nonprofit or school, keep the organization's official name visible where needed. I'd choose Showing Up Together for a lasting group and Saturday Service Crew for a recurring local project.
