Volunteer Connection Wish Book 10th Edition 2008-2009

The Volunteer Connection proudly presents the newest edition of the WishBook.  This 10th edition continues our efforts in providing the Wabash Valley community (which encompasses 6 counties:  Vigo, Parke, Vermillion, Sullivan, Clay in Indiana and Clark in Illinois) with opportunities for those interested in providing their time and talent to those agencies and organizations in need of volunteers.

The Volunteer Connection is a program of the United Way of the Wabash Valley.  It serves as a clearinghouse to recruit volunteers for the not-for-profit agencies and organizations in our community and to provide links to the agencies and organizations for those interested in sharing their time, talents and treasures.

The Volunteer Connection has included the “wishes” of over 150 agencies and organizations.  This is an opportunity for any individual or group to provide those items as a “granted” wish. We encourage you to reflect on the wishes of the agencies and contribute monetarily or donate items to the agency or organization of your choice.

The agencies are listed alphabetically.  Each listing includes the agency’s address, phone number, their mission, their volunteer needs and wishes.

Please call, or email to obtain assistance in choosing a volunteer opportunity to match with your passion or interests. This will assist us in the effectiveness of this WishBook and allow us to better serve our community.
