National Volunteer week

Established by Presidential Proclamation in 1974, National Volunteer Week continues to be widely observed and celebrated by communities of all sizes. Each year during the month of April, National Volunteer Week celebrates the impact of volunteer efforts and the power of community.

Whether you are looking to volunteer as a team or individual, we have projects to suit your passions, fit your schedule and support the community’s most pressing needs. From our community-wide volunteer events throughout the year, to corporate engagement activities – volunteers play an essential role to serve and strengthen our community.

BY SHARING YOUR TIME AND TALENTS, YOU CAN TOUCH SOMEONE’S LIFE IN A TRULY POWERFUL WAY.
A can of food on a pantry shelf. 30 minutes spent reading with a student. A fresh layer of paint in a shelter. These may seem like small acts of kindness, but they make a world of a difference for individuals in need. You can offer the hope and dignity that helps someone build a better life for their family today.
