April is National Volunteer Month! Last year, United Way of Greater Kingsport benefitted from 4,390 hours of service completed by community volunteers - like you. That is an estimated value of over $119,000!

As we promote and celebrate volunteerism this month, we are encouraging you to sign up for your newest opportunity on our regional volunteerism portal: www.volunteer-united.org. In 2020, over 1100 individuals utilized the site, which hosts volunteer opportunities from over 100 nonprofits in the Northeast Tennessee area. You can make a profile, view upcoming events, respond to help with ongoing needs, and even track your volunteer hours! No matter your passions, interests, or time availability, there is an opportunity for you.

Follow us on facebook, twitter, or instagram to keep up with the latest on National Volunteer Month. You might even see some familiar faces featured as we celebrate the service and dedication that you give to United Way and our Greater Kingsport community.
