COVID-19 Response and Recovery – Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in serving our community during the current pandemic. The need for volunteers is high and your contribution is appreciated and valuable.
There are several ways to look for opportunities to serve:
-
The UWVC website Volunteer Ventura County has several current needs, and opportunities are continually updated. You can find current COVID-19 Response & Recovery opportunities here – http://www.volunteerventuracounty.org/need/index?s=1&need_init_id=3061
-
Food security is the biggest need at the moment, therefore we have partnered with FOOD Share to direct volunteers to their website for a variety of volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups. Please follow this link to see what is available – https://foodshare.com/volunteer/
You are welcome to contact us with any questions at volunteercenter@vcunitedway.org. If you would like to receive periodic updates on disaster response/recovery needs including COVID-19 please consider registering as a Disaster Spontaneous Volunteer – http://www.volunteerventuracounty.org/need/detail/?need_id=311201
