Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of the Midlands

Join us as we celebrate 10 years of keeping families together through our Integrated Family Care program! Castle Monday is a special evening at the historic Joslyn Castle on December 1, where guests will hear stories from families and mentors, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, and learn how to support this important work.

We’re looking for friendly volunteers to help make the night run smoothly — greeting and checking in guests, answering questions, assisting with event activities (like the silent auction and wine pull), and sharing in the joy of this community celebration. Come be part of an inspiring evening that helps families find hope, stability, and home.

Meet at the ESU3 building. Sort toys into age/gender categories, then chose individual gifts for a child with a disability. When you choose a child's name-there is a description to help you choose the best gift, then put the gifts in a gift bag and keep organized by family. There are point people to help.

This event is for the families in need, and they will attend a festive party with their entire immediate family to receive these gifts. 

Cleaning the Dowd Chapel in preparation of the Christmas season. This might include sweeping floors, dusting, and polishing surfaces. Cleaning may take place on any day in November up until December 10th. Please “sign-up” to express interest and arrange a time to volunteer with Boys Town.

Volunteers will prepare Christmas shopping for families as Heartland Hope Mission prepares to serve over 8,000 children through their Hope Filled Christmas.  Every hour you give - whether helping behind the scenes now or serving during the event - brings us one step closer to making this Christmas unforgettable for families in our community.

This opportunity occurs at the South O Campus, 2021 U St, Omaha, NE 68107.

This holiday season, you can help bring joy and hope to families right here in our community. Our Hope-Filled Christmas event will serve over 8,000 kids, and we’d love for you to be part of it! As a volunteer, you’ll get to hand out gifts, help parents find the perfect presents, greet families etc, and share in the smiles and laughter that make this event so special.

Every volunteer plays an essential role, and each moment you give reminds families they’re not alone — that hope is alive this Christmas.
