United Way of Bay County Charity Profile

United Way of Bay County is in the business of changing lives. We lead and collaborate with a network of community partners to address human needs. In this community effort, United Way of Bay County acts a catalyst for change. We measure progress of programs to ensure the programs have positive results.

Our volunteers and financial resources are directed at programs that target three priority areas: YOUTH, HEALTH & WELLNESS, and BASIC NEEDS & INDEPENDENCE. It takes the entire community working together, UNITED together, to reach our goals. Together, we make lasting changes that improve lives, help your friends and neighbors, and build stronger Bay County.

United Way of Bay County Volunteer Information

The Volunteer Resource Center, VRC, is funded by the United Way of Bay County. Its vision is to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems.

If a person is interested in volunteering but does not know which agency needs help, he or she can call the VRC. The VRC meets with the individual to assess his time available, interests and skills. Then by using a community-wide database of opportunities, the volunteer is matched with a non-profit organization.

VRC staff work with all non-profits in Bay County. If a non-profit agency has a one-time project or needs a long-term volunteer, it contacts the VRC and can have volunteers referred to them. The VRC can place volunteers from children to adults. The service is free!
