School may be out for the summer, but at Volunteers of America, we’re already thinking about the fall.

 

While you’re planning summer vacations and backyard barbecues, we’re asking you to help us fill backpacks for underprivileged children at the VOA Children's Center and staying at VOA’s emergency family shelters.

Charities Love Donated ITEMS and VOLUNTEERS. 

1. Our primary purpose is to list gently-used ITEMS needed by local charities.
    Turn your 'clutter' into someone's treasure. Give the landfills a break!

2. Many of the agencies also list of VOLUNTEERS they need. Help yourself while helping others.
     Another Source for VOLUNTEER Listings: United Way's Volunteer United page at https://uwrochester.galaxydigital.

• Note: The Wishbook does not accept donations or keep an inventory of items.

• Please use the information you find here to make arrangements directly with the charity. Thank you!
