WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
A network of local non-profit organizations and funding agencies have been working together to identify the areas of need in the Stark County community as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. This group is working to respond to those needs efficiently and effectively. Volunteers are always a critical need for agencies, and as our community recovers, we know that volunteers will be a great need to many.
Please complete this volunteer interest form if you are healthy and have the ability to volunteer. United Way is not placing volunteers, but we will share your information with local agencies that are in need of volunteers at this time. The agency will contact you directly to answer questions and finalize details around the volunteer opportunity.

Day of Caring
In 2020, Day of Caring looked a little different than usual. It is usually our biggest one-day community service event, showing that when we work together, we can change lives. Many workplaces and individuals joined us September 11 for a curbside collection of our community’s greatest needs: food, masks and cleaning supplies.
Coming soon: More details about Day of Caring 2021


RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
Kindness during uncertain times is a great way to connect friends, neighbors and communities when they need it most. We challenge you to find time to share a random act of kindness with a friend, coworkers, neighbor, stranger or loved one.
National Volunteer Week
Volunteers power our work — they open their hearts, change lives and make our community a better place. In 2021, National Volunteer Week will be celebrated April 18 - 24, and is an opportunity to recognize the incredible people who donate their time, talent and voice to support our organization throughout the year.
