Family Volunteer Opportunities

Sign up to volunteer at the Timberlake Outreach Center at 2107 E. Locust St.
Omaha. Open Door Mission is looking for volunteers to help sort clothing and household items, sort and count toys, make food pantry boxes, and more.

In honor of the national MLK Day, join the UNO Office of Civic & Social Responsibility for one of our Signature Service Days. Service projects will help the community at large, and those who participate can choose from a variety of service projects during check-in. Please make sure to dress to get dirty and make a difference. We will have free breakfast and lunch available to all volunteers! Not available the whole day? Stop in the Office of Civic & Social Responsibility (CEC 130) anytime during the day to complete a service project in the office.

Abide Omaha is excited to host any group or individuals, adults and youth, who would like to serve in the inner city for a few hours that day and connect with the north Omaha community to make a difference in one of the most under-served areas in the city of Omaha.

Choose from a variety of agencies where families can volunteer their time on this day to serve others. (It is always a good idea to contact the agency before planning to volunteer to verify age requirements, complete the application process (if needed), or schedule a time in advance.)
