A volunteer is someone who is ready to give whatever they can to help whoever they can.
Over the last 76 years, the Catawba County United Way has become a resource for those looking to give back to their community by giving their time and talents to bring hope to those in need.
When ordinary people do their part to help local non-profits, the task of aiding the grief stricken becomes easier and more impactful.
If you want to join this growing army of caring volunteers, contact the Catawba County United Way.
