When it comes to her 480 hours of community service, Lindsay Lohan isn't wasting any time.

Just two weeks after being sentenced for violating her probation, the troubled actress was spotted Friday morning arriving at the Downtown Women's Center in Los Angeles to get crackin' on the 360 hours she needs to spend there helping the homeless. (The other 120 hours will be logged at the L.A. County morgue.)

While it's not exactly known what she'll be assigned to do—it could be anything from sorting through donations to cooking meals to answering phones—the judge who sentenced Lohan is hoping the experience of "seeing women who are truly needy" will help to "change her behavior."

Lohan, who's in the midst of appealing the other part of her sentence (120 days in jail), has one year to complete the community service.
