<p>For most (if not all) colleges, you're not going to write down "I had 400 hours of community service." Rather, they ask you for hours a week/weeks per year that you spend on a certain ACTIVITY (I don't believe you can write Community Service...5/52, but correct me if I'm wrong). I'd recommend that you look at some old apps from the schools that you're interested in. Most schools should have their 2006 paper app still on their websites.</p>
