Service in Action:                                                                                                                                    At least once a month we contact our listserv (email addresses of students interested in volunteer opportunities) with a volunteer opportunity in our community.  In some cases we will also provide transportation to these events.  If you would like to hear from us on a monthly basis regarding volunteer opportunities, please send your request to Volservices@uncc.edu    

Food Recycling Program:                                                                                                      Every Monday and Wednesday when classes are in session, you can assist our driver with gathering and delivering food from RDH and the Union.  Student volunteers, under the direction of our van driver will assist him by filling trays with food and loading the trays into the van and accompanying him to the Urban Ministries in uptown Charlotte.   If you are interested in signing up, please send your request to foodservice@uncc.edu. 

Off Campus Agencies offering volunteer opportunities:                  You may find a list of volunteer  opportunities in room 207-A of the King building. These information sheets contain listings for local companies and organizations that seek volunteers.  Each opportunity represents a different interest area with the companies name, contact information and a brief description about the organization.  Please feel free to take as many sheets as you like and contact the company directly regarding what you are looking for and what hours you have available.
