Volunteer in LaSalle, Putnam & Bureau Counties
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Voluntary Action Center. The community members of LaSalle, Putnam, Bureau Counties are dedicated and committed to the success of our communities. Their dedication and donation of time and services result in the success of our programs.
Volunteer opportunities range from delivery of a hot noon meal to our homebound senior citizens, working within our congregate program, participating in fundraising activities, and volunteering for our Meals on Wheels program.
Our volunteers unite to help those in need lead healthy lives by remaining in their homes and actively participating in the community. Volunteering is a rewarding experience for the young and old. Voluntary Action Center salutes them all and commends them on their gracious efforts and time dedication.
VAC appreciates all volunteers. Every gift, large or small, means another ride for someone disabled or a warm and nutritious meal for the elderly.
