Volunteerism is a key component of many companies' philanthropic and community goals. United Way helps companies connect the volunteer power of their employees to where our community benefits the most.

Volunteering through the workplace benefits employees, corporations, and the community at large. Employees have the opportunity to put their skills and passion into action, companies demonstrate their corporate citizenship, and people's lives are improved. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when a family becomes financially stable, when people have good health.

Companies large and small partner with United Way to identify how their employees can work in their community to create change on issues they care about.

• Building ties to the local community,
• Learning new skills including leadership and supervision,

• Enhancing their relationship and esteem for the company. 
• Gaining improved relations with members of their community,
• Learning about critical community issues,
• Building morale and sense of team spirit,
• Enhancing their ability to recruit and retain high-quality employees.
