A can of food on a pantry shelf. 30 minutes spent reading with a student. A fresh layer of paint in a shelter. These may seem like small acts of kindness, but they make a world of a difference for individuals in need. You can offer the hope and dignity that helps someone build a better life for their family, today.
How you can get involved
Our events promote the spirit and value of volunteerism, increase awareness of local issues and demonstrate what people working together can accomplish.
GOOD on the Go
Throughout the Year
During a GOOD on the Go project, your team will work together to assemble kits for people in need at your office or another site of your choosing. United Way of the Midlands will order and transport needed supplies, coordinate the event and deliver the kits to local nonprofit agencies or agency/ies of your choice. Contact our Director of Volunteer Engagement for more information and pricing at volunteer@uwmidlands.org.

Holiday Helpers
November – December
Families experience hope and reassurance when they can share the joy of the holiday season with their family, without worry. Holiday Helpers connects you with meaningful ways to give back.
Small acts make big impacts.
When you hang an outfit on a hanger in a women’s shelter, you’re doing more than tidying up. For a woman who had to flee her home due to domestic abuse, that outfit can be life-changing. It may be the first thing she’s been able to call her own since leaving. It may be the first piece of clothing that makes her feel confident. It may be the outfit she wears to a job interview or when she drops her child off at a new school. For her, that one outfit may mean everything. And you helped put it in her hands.
Understanding our community’s needs and how you can help is a big job. That’s why we use the volunteer management system Get Connected to help you find opportunities you’re interested in. With Get Connected you can also create your own profile page where you can add your volunteer interests and track your hours and receive updates for upcoming volunteer projects in the community.
