Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of United Way. From helping us to keep fundraising costs down - that way almost all of every contribution gets to the people who need it most - to providing the critical link that pulls business, government and human service agencies together - we can do so much more working together than we can alone - volunteers are involved in heroic efforts to improve our community.

Just a few of the ways volunteers help include:

giving their time to determine the needs of the community
allocating funds to agencies and programs with proven impact
serving on United Way's board
planning and staffing events and activities
working with United Way-supported agencies and programs

When you volunteer, you're touching people's lives directly. When volunteers are asked why they do it, they usually respond that yes, they enjoy doing something for others, but the most compelling reason is that it makes them feel great!

Meet just one of the thousands of volunteers working to improve lives in our community.
