Lend a Hand in Your Community

Across our community, local organizations are working hard to support neighbors in need  from food banks and shelters to senior centers, youth programs, and emergency response efforts.

In times of uncertainty, such as during the current federal shutdown, the need for volunteers becomes even greater. Whether you have a few hours a week or can help at a one-time event, your time and skills make a real difference.

Ways to Get InvolvedCommunity

  • Support food assistance programs: Help distribute groceries, prepare meals, or assist with donation drives.

  • Serve at community centers: Volunteer with after-school programs, senior activities, or wellness initiatives.

  • Join local cleanup or beautification projects: Pitch in to keep parks, trails, and neighborhoods safe and welcoming.

  • Offer professional skills: Lend your expertise in areas like communications, logistics, technology, or outreach.

Why It Matters

Volunteering builds stronger, more connected communities. It’s a chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
