Every big change begins with a spark. A single volunteer's hour. A box of school supplies delivered. A meal served with care. Alone, these actions matter. But when they flow together, they become a current strong enough to transform neighborhoods, schools, and families.

That's what happens through the Volunteer Center of the Midlands. As the hub that powers volunteerism across our community, the Center connects 15,000+ volunteers and 190 agencies so that every effort is amplified into lasting impact.

Because of this hub:

  • Volunteers are matched to meaningful service.

  • Nonprofits gain the people power they need to grow.

  • The community can respond quickly when urgent needs arise.

It means that every act of service - including yours - carries further than any one person could achieve alone.

And you can help keep this current strong. Monthly giving ensures the Volunteer Center continues to:

  • Sustain year-round programs that meet critical needs.

  • Keep volunteers connected to opportunities and ready to respond in times of crisis.

  • Multiply the value of every volunteer hour across the community.

Supporting the Volunteer Center is about being part of something bigger than yourself. Together, volunteers and donors are lighting the way for families, neighbors, and future generations.

Because here in the Midlands: every spark counts, every hour matters, and every gift keeps the current flowing.
