New United Way Partnership

We recognize that while many would like to serve our community, at times it is challenging to commit to a regular volunteer schedule and therefore we are always looking for new opportunities that are easy and yet meaningful. The Volunteer Centers are pleased to announce we have partnered with the United Way create a new avenue of such opportunities.

The goal is to provide community members with the opportunity to not only help a local non-profit agency but also get to know their local United Way partner agencies and see, first hand, what they are doing to make Santa Cruz County a better place for all. Each month a new opportunity will be featured on our 1-800 Volunteer website.

On October 3rd and 4th, volunteers are needed to support the Hospice Oktoberfest benefit. This fun and lively event includes an Oktoberfest inspired lunch, live accordion music, a silent auction, a live wine auction, cash drawings and arts, crafts and antique sales. All proceeds go directly to Hospice to help them provide support to individuals and families living with life-threatening illnesses. Help support this invaluable service by volunteering at their annual fundraiser. To volunteer contact United Way Coordinator Samantha Green at 465-2208 or visit: 1-800 Volunteer.org
