Virginia Tech created a new volunteer program called VT-ENGAGE to encourage volunteerism and enhance the relationship and partnership efforts between the university and the community. United Way and VT-Engage are community partners in an effort to match volunteers with organizations needing volunteer help by utilizing an online system called Volunteer Solutions. You can use Volunteer Solutions to find volunteer opportunities and/or post the volunteer needs of your group. Volunteers: We encourage you to register and complete a volunteer profile so you can receive email alerts about opportunities you would like. Click here to register. Non-Profits: Register your group's volunteer and donation needs so you can receive email alerts about matches to help you. Agencies and organizations, click here to register. VT-ENGAGE reaffirms Virginia Tech's commitment to service worldwide and helps people actively live out its motto, Ut Prosim, That I May Serve – established in 1896. If you live outside the New River Valley area, simply enter the zip code of your community in the U.S. and opportunities listed closest to you will be listed.

The Southwestern Virginia Second Harvest Food Bank vision is to end hunger in the areas we serve by making adequate amounts of food available to the agencies who feed hungry people.
Description:
The Southwestern Virginia Second Harvest Food Bank procures donated food from local and national sources for distribution to member agencies. These agencies (e.g. food pantries, soup kitchens, etc.) give the food to those who would go hungry without it. Our service area includes the 26 counties and 10 cities in southwestern Virginia.
