Christmas appeals, food and clothing drives, and toys for children need the support of volunteers of all ages. In the spring, Lend A Hand coordinates companies with agencies to fulfill project wish lists. Make A Difference Day in October is dedicated to getting the community involved in projects and events that are planned to promote volunteerism on that day. The teamwork aspect of volunteering is important to companies. Educational workshops and company tours are valuable to agencies that mentor young people.
Professionals often volunteer their experience on advisory boards and committees.
A few hours a month can be a dividend to a nonprofit agency or a public service organization. The most successful collaborations use volunteers to network within the community. The impact of volunteers continues to grow with the needs of the community. As new opportunities become available, United Volunteers will seek individuals who want to make an impact in the community. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to contact us for more information.
