Volunteering is the hallmark of United Way, and there's no better time to volunteer than the holidays.  The holiday season presents many exciting and fun opportunities for you to reach out to United Way partner programs.  You can provide needed time and resources that make the holidays brighter for everyone!

Some ideas include:

• Serving Thanksgiving dinner in a shelter
• Collect holiday gifts for children
• Organize a clothing drive
• Adopt an agency
• Adopt a family
