Interested in volunteering?
Volunteering is an important part of what makes communities thrive. When you volunteer, you are making a significant impact for those less fortunate. You may not realize it, but without your time a paid employee has that much more work to do. When you volunteer, you create a bigger impact and make donations go further.
Our promise to you
At United Way of the Kearney Area, we know that your time is important. You are busy. Thank you for investing in the Kearney area by giving back through the gift of time. We promise that we will be prepared and communicate as early and effectively as possible. We promise to make it fun! Whether you are preparing mailings or getting your hands dirty, we want you to enjoy yourself as you serve your neighbors.
Volunteer opportunities
If you have specific skill sets you want to share, please reach out to us so that we can work together to put those to good use! New board members are recruited in the late winter or early spring. If you think you might be a good fit to join our board, we would love to talk to you. The United Way board is a positive, fun group of people full of energy who care deeply about the community.
There are always new opportunities to get involved throughout the year, whether you have two hours to spare or want to help with a specific event. We can help connect you with nonprofits in the community in need of help, or we might have a project lined up too. Some of these include:
1. Stamp Out Hunger (2nd Saturday in May)
2. United Against Hunger
3. Coats for Kids (end of September)
4. Free Little Pantries (weekly throughout the year)
You make Kearney a great place to live. Thank you!
