On behalf of the 600 nonprofits and thousands of volunteers The Volunteer Center matched this year, we invite you to make a donation to our good work. Your contribution helps us to make the essential connections between people like you, who care about your community, volunteers who seek to serve, and nonprofits that deliver critical services.

Since 1956, we have been making this valued connection—serving volunteers and nonprofits alike.

Nonprofits need the Volunteer Center to connect them with volunteers seeking a way to contribute.

Volunteers need the Volunteer Center to provide an easy and efficient way to find the right opportunity to serve.

Your donation helps to improve the lives of East Bay community members in a tangible way with volunteers who help to feed the hungry, teach at-risk children to read, provide care to seniors  and more.
