As part of the 2012-2013 Valley United Way Community Campaign, we're putting Campaign Chairman Joe Pagliaro Jr. on the road to give you an idea of just what services your donations are helping to support. Joe is making stops all over the Valley adding his own thoughts about the importance of the services being provided in the community. In addition to the video, we'll also have a story about the agency to give you a fuller perspective of the importance of the agency.

The Volunteer Center, a division of Valley United Way, serves as a community resource matching the skills and interests of Valley volunteers with the needs of nonprofit agencies providing services in the Valley.  

Directed by Pat Tarasovic, the Volunteer Center maintains a database of volunteer opportunities listed by nonprofit agencies in the Valley. It also coordinates the Corporate Volunteer Council (Area Businesses) and the High School Volunteer Council (Area High Schools) as well as United Way's Youth Leadership Program.
