Volunteer shuttle drivers and/or dispatcher on our Free Rides for Seniors Shuttle (above) needed. The demand is great, and the rewards are even greater. Make friends, be part of a supportive community, and make an enormous difference in the lives of others! Learn more by watching a video of a ride along.

Or consider being a volunteer driver to take older adults (with your car) to doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping or other important errands.

Prefer one-on-one connections? Through our Friendly Visiting Program, you can spend time with an older adult in their home, enjoying simple but meaningful activities like puzzles, reading, watching TV, playing board games, or simply having an enjoyable conversation.

Get Your Hands Dirty for a Great Cause

Volunteer at NHCO’s Community Garden

NHCO’s Rosalinda Sauro Sirianni Garden is a beautiful space in Bellevue that grows organic produce that directly supports families served by NHCO’s three food pantries. Whether you’ve got a green thumb or just love being outdoors, your time makes a meaningful impact.

Volunteers hours are Monday evenings and Thursday mornings.

Experiences and Auction Items needed for our Signature Fundraising Event

Our Signature Fundraiser, Corks for the Community, is quickly approaching on August 20. One of the most impactful ways to support its success is by donating (or helping us secure) items and experiences for the silent auction.

Some ideas include:

A weekend at a home or timeshare
Sports tickets
A unique experience (lunch with someone interesting, a private tour, behind-the-scenes access)
A fun group experience (boat day, chef’s dinner, golf foursome)
Hotel stays or airline tickets

If you have ideas or would like to contribute something, please reach out to Amethy Weikel-Sandstrom at aweikel-sandstrom@nhco.org

Thank You UPMC!

Volunteers from UPMC pull weeds in our orchard at NHCO's community garden in Bellevue. Thirty volunteers from two groups tended to various tasks that helped ensure our food pantries are stocked with fresh produce.
