We rely on citizen volunteers to advise on needs and funding priorities and to help with youth, family, mental health and senior services. Your gift of time, talent and service can make a real difference in the lives of neighbors in need. Township Committee Members are volunteers who are registered voters appointed by the Township Trustees to serve up to 3-year terms.

Your Kindness Can Light Up a Senior’s Day
Delivering meals to seniors isn’t just about dropping off food - it’s about being a friendly face and spreading joy. We are seeking volunteers with a car to deliver meals to older adults two mornings per week for about two hours each day.
