 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

If you’d like to know more about how your  United Way dollars are spent, there’s no better way than to join one of our allocation panels.

Every year we ask volunteers to visit our funded programs and make funding recommendations for the next year. This brief process is crucially important, and lies at the heart of our United Way. You will see firsthand the tremendous work the agencies do.


If you're interested in volunteering, click here to fill out a volunteer profile and attend one of the two training sessions we have scheduled. You may choose either one.


The first will be held on Tuesday, May 19th, 8:00am-10:00am. The second will be held on Thursday, May 21st, 11:30am to 1:30pm, a light lunch will be provided. Both trainings will be held in classroom F on the second floor of the Rapides Foundation Building, 1101 4th Street, Alexandria, LA (318) 443-7203 ext.2
