McCOOK, Neb. - In an effort to connect individuals with meaningful volunteer opportunities in the community, McCook Volunteers is asking local organizations to be part of a webpage listing a wide variety of options for individuals looking to get involved. Organizations with volunteer needs can submit basic information in order to connect with passionate individuals on meaningful projects.

As part of the McCook Community Foundation Fund (MCFF), McCook Volunteers has created an online “brochure” in order to highlight organizations that depend on volunteers to operate and provide services to the McCook area. More than 30 organizations have been contacted to provide information for the website, but any group with a need for volunteers is eligible to be part of the project.

The McCook Volunteers webpage can be found on the MCFF website (mccookfoundation.org), and is a listing of volunteer groups that need assistance. There is no cost to the organization to be featured.

The McCook Volunteers organizers ask that organizations in need of volunteers send in basic information including organization name, logo if applicable, volunteer needs, website address if applicable, Facebook address if applicable, and other contact information. The information and relevant links will be featured on the McCook Volunteers webpage for prospective volunteers to find out more information and sign up.

With the McCook Volunteers webpage now in place, anyone in the community - whether newcomers or longtime residents - are encouraged to visit the webpage for volunteer opportunities using the links provided.

Information can be submitted to Peggy Been at pbeen828@gmail.com or Ronda Graff at mcffund@gmail.com.
