Let me tell you a story of a time when I volunteered at a soup kitchen. I showed up for several weeks and then just stopped coming. The other volunteer staff and regulars started asking where I was...I told them "I'm a volunteer and you should appreciate the time I put in there." Instead of leading them on and remaining a volunteer for months and months without showing up, I decided to tell them that I was no longer interested in serving and they found someone else to take my role in serving up soup. They were appreciative of my work and time I put in and let someone carry on the dream.
