voluntease 

A well intentioned person who repeatedly agrees to do some type of charity work, but ultimately does not follow through with the commitment, often with an excuse at the last moment.

Mary said she would help with this year's church picnic, but she's such a voluntease, so I'm not holding my breath.

What happens to you when your boss forces you to volunteer for something

voluntear 

Refers to either:
(1) Work performed for free because some tearful moocher came "bawling 'n' blubbering" to you with some "poor poor pitiful me" sob-story about being in an emergency with no money to pay anyone to help him get out of it, or
(2) Work performed for free that absolutely "bores you to tears".

That old miser on his fancy estate has been snookering soft-hearted dim-wits into helping him for free for years now, but I hear that a lot of them have finally gotten wise to him --- zheeeesh, how many naive-minded voluntears does he think actually exist in his local area???
