    "I have volunteered for many different agencies and events through Volunteer Center Fort Wayne, and I encourage everyone to use this resource to find volunteer opportunities (either individually or as a group). You choose your areas of interest, if you want to do a one-time help or a weekly commitment, what type of volunteer “job” you want to do, and when. There are so many options! Bonus: If you are already serving on a non-profit board or committee, you can log those hours of participation.

    To name a few, I have helped with Angel Tree and Back-to-School backpack sorting and distribution at The Salvation Army of Allen County, IN, helped cleaned out the new women’s shelter for the YWCA Northeast Indiana; I volunteer as an usher at the Purdue University Fort Wayne Rhinehart Music Center, and in September will be spending three days helping at the Masters Fitness Championship, which takes place in Fort Wayne. Volunteers are the lifeblood of any non-profit organization…and they are all very grateful for anyone’s time, talent, and treasure. Reach out to Camille Garrison or Ana Etter to learn more about how you can get involved."

    "The Volunteer Center’s easy-to-use website and wonderful staff will help you find the volunteer opportunities that most align with your own personal passions. I had no idea such an organization existed! I had thought if I wanted to volunteer, I would have to spend copious amounts of time calling individual charities to see if they could use help. The Volunteer Center website brings all of that information into one location for easy searching. There are a multitude of volunteer opportunities that don’t require huge time commitments. The Volunteer Center can help you find opportunities that may be single events or even recurring opportunities that you might do only once or twice a month."
