The midwestern value of "service to neighbor" runs deeply through Albion and Boone County. Neighbors watch out for neighbors. And people do their best to show care for each other by giving of their time in meaningful ways. Many non-profit organizations exist in our community with many opportunities to discover and exercise their gifts.
Check the sections below for organizations accepting volunteers on a rolling basis, as well as short-term opportunities that have been given to our office.

Blessings in a Back Pack
Blessings in a Backpack is a volunteer-based organization that provides nutritious supplemental meals in a confidential manner to local qualifying students who face potential food insecurity over weekends and breaks. The program is at no-cost to the families, and it is funded through local donations and grants.
