Opportunities From: United Way of Kaw Valley

We are looking for at least 6 volunteers for a 4 hour cleaning shift. Because of the nature of the project, we recommend volunteers who are comfortable with physical labor and can bring a non-judgmental, supportive attitude toward a neighbor in crisis.

A Topeka resident, who is currently living in a home under a condemnation order, has been approved for the City of Topeka’s HUD DREAMS program. This program will fully fund and facilitate the repair of her water pipes, installation of a new furnace and water heater, and repair of all drain lines. This work will restore the home to a habitable status. 

The Barrier: Before the city’s contractors can begin this life-changing work, the interior of the home must be cleared of high-density clutter (hoarding) to allow access to the utilities.

There is a large dumpster on site to assist with debris clean up. The goal is a targeted access clearing to allow repairmen to safely reach the basement water pipes and the bathroom. This is not a full-house clean out. 

We are looking for 10-15 volunteers to sign up to help with this work. After we have reached target sign up numbers, United Way of Kaw Valley (UWKV) and SENT Topeka will reach out for your availability. The first date & time frame that at least 6 interested volunteers are available for will be scheduled so that the City can begin work as soon as possible. 

If you are signing up a team of at least 3 people, please email Monroe Hanson mhanson@uwkawvalley.org and Eric Culbertson eculbertson@senttopeka.com with your team's availability as soon as you sign up. 

Due to the hoarding environment and potential sanitation issues, this volunteer opportunity is best suited to adults 18+ who can navigate a confined and cluttered space, and who can bring a non-judgmental and kind attitude. 

Thank you for your willingness to help a neighbor in need!

classrooms to read to). Readers will check in at the main office of the school
then be directed to the classrooms they are assigned to. After reading they
will distribute books to students and give other materials to the teacher to

Spring Substitute and/or Weekly Delivery Volunteers at Lawrence Meals on Wheels

Volunteers are needed.  Please give us a call if you can help! 

We need volunteers all year but we are very flexible and can work around seasonal schedules when possible.

Types of drivers are needed:
 

What happens when I decide to volunteer?

Each day, Lawrence Meals On Wheels delivers approximately 160+ meals. This enormous task would not be possible without our number one resource – Volunteers. Over 125 volunteers each week are utilized to serve our clients.
 

Volunteers pick up meals between 10:30 – 11:30 at MOW, 2121 Kasold, and then deliver to between 4 -8 clients. The delivery bags are then returned to MOW. The entire process takes an hour or less and can easily be done over your lunch hour.  We can be very flexible if you need to run errands afterwards or return the bags the next morning - just let us know and we will work it out.
 

Volunteers initially train with a staff member and then ride along on a route prior to driving their own. We provide route sheets, with detailed maps and written directions. Staff is always available to answer any questions and assist as needed.  All of our routes take an hour or less.  We do our best to make sure that the delivery routes are as direct and concise as possible.
 

A valid driver’s license and proof of current insurance are required.
 

Our volunteers range in age from 5 to 90. We have parents who drive with their children, executives who drive on their lunch hour, as well as KU students and retired individuals who drive. We are flexible and can work with your schedule, i.e. if you are going to be out of town, can only help over the holidays and/or during the summer, etc.

We can not accept anyone under 18 as a volunteer driver unless they are accompanied by a parent or someone 21+.

Other Volunteer Opportunities:
 

Volunteers needed to teach or play Chess with our guests at our Main Shelter. If you like to play or like to teach others how to play chess. Sign up! 

FutureNow Finance is an exercise that helps students understand some of the “realities” involved in preparing for an employable future and adulthood. Students will have an invaluable experience of managing finances for a month as a 26-year-old adult. At FutureNow: Finance, students receive an adult scenario based on a survey they have completed prior to the event. The scenario includes marital status, number of children, career field, and net monthly income (based on choice of career field and current GPA). The students will use that information to determine their monthly payments and balance their budgets. Students will visit a variety of booths to “purchase” housing, transportation, communication services, child care, food, utilities, insurance, etc. They will also have the opportunity to save money, give to charity and learn about unexpected things that affect daily life (e.g. accidents, unexpected visitors, flat tires).

Over the years, Bert Nash has produced many client success stories and program updates. These stories are stored on our servers, but to preserve them and make them more easily accessible, we want to upload them to our website as blog posts and tag them. That is the primary goal of this volunteer role. 

This task is largely clerical: sorting, uploading, and cataloging these historic documents.  

It is unclear how long this will take, but likely 8-12 hours, or more. There are roughly 500 stories and many accompanying photos that need to be uploaded. Depending on how fast the volunteer can work, the project could take longer or shorter, but speed is not a priority. 

Volunteers will receive limited website access and all necessary instructions. Familiarity with computers and blogging is helpful. Reach out to dsmith@bertnash.org if you have any questions.

The Free State High School Forensics Tournament will be held on March 13 and 14, 2026 at Free State High School. The forensics team is looking for volunteer judges from the community for both days. Volunteers can sign up to judge one or more rounds. No special qualifications are required. Please arrive 15 minutes before the round starts, and bring an electronic device for recording online ballots. 

On March 13, rounds begin at 3 pm, 4 pm, 5 pm, and 6 pm. On March 14, rounds begin at 8 am, 10 am, 12 pm, 2 pm, and 4 pm. 

The availability and sign up sheet is here. Please use the attached google sheet. Signing up on KawValleyVolunteers.org will not notify the students. 

It's so much more than only a meal! Connect with neighbors in your community when you deliver a hot, nutritious meal, daily safety check, and warm smile to homebound seniors every weekday, Monday-Friday between 10:30-12:00. Routes are available in Shawnee, Douglas, and Jefferson counties. Choose your schedule-deliver every week or once or twice a month-whatever works for you. Hundreds of homebound neighbors are eager to get to know you, call today! 

Opportunities available for corporate, club, or faith groups to deliver as a team. 

Connect with your neighbors and make a visible difference in the lives of homebound seniors. If you can just give (1) one hour a month or a week during the lunch hour, you will support the safety and independence of the elderly by delivering a hot, nutritious meal and a friendly smile! 

This is a great activity for families teaching children respect and the joy of service, for your employees to return to work recharged and inspired, or a fun project with your friends before lunch. 

For more information, call our office at (785) 430-2186, email Amanda at adouglas@midlandcc.org or visit our website at www.midlandcc.org. 

Midland Care Meals on Wheels serves seniors and homebound in Shawnee, Jefferson and Douglas counties.

Pick up meals at the location nearest you and deliver in the neighborhood you prefer. 

Meal delivery bags are picked up between 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Routes take up to an hour to deliver to an average of 12-15 clients per route. We'll work with your schedule and interests to find the best schedule and area for you. 

Substitute Drivers
Even the most dedicated delivery volunteers need a day off now and then. Substitutes keep the wheels turning. Substitutes can view a sign up weekly for open routes and sign up for those that fit your schedule and preferred part of the city. This is- a great option if you travel frequently or if your work schedule has busier seasons and you don't feel like you can make a regular commitment. Fill in when you can-you've no idea how helpful substitutes are! 

Training is provided before you hit the road with your first meal delivery. 

Our Tuck in Call team members reach out to our hospice patients mid-week over the phone to check in, ensuring they have all the supplies, meds, and items they need to get through the weekend. Our patients enjoy hearing kind voices, and our care team appreciates the help to avoid running out of anything or needing to make extra trips to provide supplies. These volunteers have good phone skills, great listening skills, and wise and compassionate hearts. Team members can work a weekly schedule or fill in as needed. When you set your account/log in, someone will contact you to discuss your interests. Training provided

Our Center for Hope and Healing offers support for those who've experienced a recent loss, and volunteers are vital part of that team. Deliver a white rose to services, check in with the grieving through phone calls, write condolence cards, or work at our Healing Hearts Camp for Children-there are many ways to support those who've suffered a loss. Training provided. 

Whatever gifts you have to offer, there is a senior in need of you. Patient Care volunteers mobilize their compassion through companion visits, respite for caregivers, check-in phone calls, and Sacred Vigil. Time spent playing cards, watching a sporting event together, chatting about the birds at the feeder outside their window, or just being there, our patient care volunteers are an integral part of the outstanding care our patients expect from Midland Care. Training is provided. 

Looking our best makes us feel better, even at our most vulnerable times. We are looking for a few hair stylists and barbers to help our hospice patients feel their best. Whether your specialty is simple cuts, men's cuts, full service, or braids, your talents will be greatly appreciated. Patient care training will be provided. This is a service that has an incredibly powerful impact for our patients. Volunteer to brighten someone's day! 

Support the Midland Care staff behind the scenes by taking care of some administrative tasks so staff can focus on providing outstanding compassionate care to our patients. Fill in at our front desk reception, care for plants in our buildings, maintain orderly files, build educational binders, support the Volunteer Services team as we support the organization. It takes a lot of admin to keep things running smoothly-your talents will be put to work!

Why Volunteer With Us?

By joining our team, you will help residents access critical legal resources, contributing to a more informed and empowered community. We deeply value your dedication and strive to provide a supportive environment that fosters both personal growth and community impact.

Self-Help Center (SHC)

The SHC’s mission is to provide free information, tools, and resources to pro se litigants (those individuals who represent themselves and handle their legal issues without an attorney to represent them; also called “self-represented litigants” or “SRLs”).

Self-Help Center volunteers commit to at least two hours per week in the center. Onboarding as a SHC volunteer is done through a combination of online training and on-the-job immersion assisting SRLs. Volunteers provide neutral, accurate and reliable information through professional conduct. Volunteers do not provide legal advice but provide resource information to customers needing elevated legal support. Volunteering in the SHC is great for individuals who enjoy taking a proactive, engaged approach to helping people during potentially high-stress encounters.

Volunteers will be located in the SHC within the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, with frequent contact and interaction with members of the public and court staff.

Volunteering at the SHC is perfect for those interested in the law generally, are considering a profession in the law, or are otherwise committed to access to justice.
