Volunteer

 Your time can change lives. 

Every day, United Way is creating positive change in the fourteen counties in southern Illinois. But we couldn't do it without the involvement of people like you. Donate your time to help United Way make a difference.

Get inspired to help.

Bringing caring people together is core to United Way's mission. A strong community in which residents are engaged and supportive is needed to make southern Illinois a better place.

By volunteering, you are playing a role in solving important community problems and enabling community partners to accomplish more. Do you want the tools and knowledge to make maximum impact on countless lives and our community? Are you looking to serve on a nonprofit board or committee but don't know where to start?

Company/Organization benefits:

• Enhance your organization's corporate image
• Increase business contacts
