Running a nonprofit or community program isn’t easy — especially when funding or staffing deficits leave critical gaps in your ability to serve. That’s where we come in. United Way of Wapello County is here to help you find and recruit volunteers who can step in and make a real impact.

Together, we can bridge the gaps — because United is the Way.

Volunteer Solutions for Community Organizations

    • Volunteer Recruitment: We’ll help connect your organization with local volunteers ready to support your cause — from one-time events to ongoing roles.

    • Marketing & Outreach: We can assist with creating marketing materials and sharing your volunteer opportunities across our network to boost visibility.

    • Local Connections: We work with local groups, schools, businesses, and programs that can help fill volunteer needs and build long-term partnerships.

  • The GetConnected Volunteer Center is our hub for local volunteerism — and the easiest way to connect with people looking to help.

  • If you’re new to the site or want guided support, I can walk you through how to:

    • Set up and manage your agency profile

    • Write compelling volunteer listings

    • Connect with local groups, students, and businesses that can help meet your needs
