Virginia Tech created a new volunteer program called VT-ENGAGE to encourage volunteerism and enhance the relationship and partnership efforts between the university and the community.
United Way and VT-Engage are community partners in an effort to match volunteers with organizations needing volunteer help by utilizing an online system called Volunteer Solutions. You can use Volunteer Solutions to find volunteer opportunities and/or post the volunteer needs of your group.
Volunteers: We encourage you to register and complete a volunteer profile so you can receive email alerts about opportunities you would like. Click here to register.
Non-Profits: Register your group's volunteer and donation needs so you can receive email alerts about matches to help you. Agencies and organizations, click here to register.
VT-ENGAGE reaffirms Virginia Tech's commitment to service worldwide and helps people actively live out its motto, Ut Prosim, That I May Serve – established in 1896.
If you live outside the New River Valley area, simply enter the zip code of your community in the U.S. and opportunities listed closest to you will be listed.
Welcome to Volunteer Solutions
The Town of Blacksburg helps provide this local United Way community building program, connecting individuals to volunteer opportunities & donated goods to charities locally.

Pick-up donated food- you decide how often
Volunteer Opportunity Details:
| Last updated on June 3, 2009 |
Radford-Fairlawn Daily Bread receives donated food items from several different establishments in the area. We are sorely in need of help picking up that food. We now have scheduled pickups 5 days each week! Pickup Trucks would be ideal but as long as you have a midsize car or larger you should have enough room.
Maybe you would like to pickup food once a week, or once a month. Either way you would be making an important contribution to the effort to feed the hungry. You can count on a pickup to take a total of 2 hours of your time.
There is some lifting involved with loading the food (boxes) into and out of your vehicle.
This opportunity is sponsored by: Radford-Fairlawn Daily Bread
We need volunteers who are free at these times
