Volunteering in Times of Disaster

Natural disasters have, unfortunately, become all too familiar in our area. One bright spot during times of disaster, however, is seeing our community come together to help those in need. The Volunteer Center plays a critical role during these times. Serving on the SUV (Spontaneous Unaffiliated Volunteers) Committee, the Volunteer Center assists in establishing a VRC (Volunteer Reception Center). A VRC is a central reporting location for all volunteers who wish to assist the community following a disaster. The location of the VRC is shared with the community via media outlets. When volunteers arrive, a VRC representative determines the best fit for the volunteer and affiliates him/her with an organization already involved in the effort. 

At the Volunteer Center, we hope for a disaster free Spring and Summer. However, should the need arise we ask those that wish to volunteer to sign up here

Corporate Corner
Thanks in part to UNUM's Young Professionals group, the Public Education Foundation had plenty of volunteers at Family STEM night. Leading the stations for the families, these volunteers educated the Red Bank community about the STEM program.
Thank you for LIVING UNITED!
