 Deb Hunt We're pleased to share the story of one of our valued volunteers. "I love people and getting to know them. My husband and I raised four girls, and now, with a flexible work schedule volunteering is one way I can use my time and talents to help my community," she says. "I began my search by Googling “Volunteer Opportunities” on the Internet. I clicked on United Way’s Volunteer Solutions which lists and describes various volunteer positions in the area. The process was so easy and I found just the volunteer position I was looking for. The listing for the receptionist job at United Way sounded fun and people-oriented. I called the phone number to find out more and we set up an appointment to meet. Time. Talent. Together. NEW (.pdf) Volunteer CenterFind volunteer opportunities now!
