Volunteering is a great way to build your resume for those with less experience or those that are looking to switch fields. It is also a great way to network as you meet people from other companies, groups, etc. I volunteer as the Cubmaster for our local Cub Scout Pack and put in hundreds of hours a year and it's great to see what comes out of it. This takes up most of my volunteering time now, but before that I would volunteer at the food bank, temporary housing, etc. As well as the tangible benefits for the community, youth, etc. it is also great for your own well being and mindset - as Jennifer points out above, and it is just the right thing to do.
