200 nonclinical volunteer hours is great! Especially since you've only finished your first year of college. I'm not sure if you need to be 18 to volunteer with the Red Cross and blood drives but that would be something to look into. If you want to take this time to focus on getting more nonclincal volunteer hours, that might be easier to do. I know there's a lot of "volunteering during COVID-19" threads on here, just stay safe.
 
Non clinical volunteering would be beneficial to your application. Ideally find organizations where you work with communities that are diverse from your own both ethnically and socioeconomically. It never hurts to have a history of demonstrating altruism on an application to medical school.
