United Way of Thurston County Community Investment Volunteer Application

Every two years, United Way of Thurston County recruits a dedicated team of Community Investment Volunteers. In 2010 these volunteers helped us grant $450,000 to 44 local programs. These funds helped provide tutoring and after-school care for children, meals and shelter for hungry and homeless people and many other essential services. In January 2012 we will begin our next funding process. We invite you to join us as a volunteer.
