As you search for ways to give back to your community, we hope this resource will help you find a good fit. When we re-launched our website at the start of National Volunteer Week 2016, we have been building out the platform and will be concentrating throughout 2017 making this a valuable connector to community needs. Our 423 partner agencies are actively seeking volunteers that address important societal issues like: hunger and homelessness; health and safety of women and children; care for seniors and special needs; anti-bullying and assisting those most vulnerable and at-risk; and advocating for environmental causes, animals, cultural arts, veterans and military families, and disaster victims.</h3>
