Emergency Volunteer Center

United Way of Greater St. Louis Volunteer Center is leading the efforts to organize volunteers and volunteer opportunities in response to the severe weather. Please review the information below on how you can best support our community's recovery efforts.

Volunteering In Disaster

At this time, there are no volunteer opportunities currently available due to ongoing safety concerns and initial response efforts related to the recent severe weather. Assessments are underway to identify how volunteers can best support recovery in the coming days.

What You Can Do Now:

Register your interest to be notified when volunteer opportunities become available and it is safe to assist. We register volunteers securely and efficiently to connect them with disaster recovery efforts at the appropriate time.

Please Keep in Mind:

Do not self-deploy to the scene of the disaster. Unexpected volunteers may interfere with response and assessment efforts and could unintentionally put themselves or others at risk.
Any assigned volunteer opportunity will not involve first-responder activity or place volunteers in hazardous situations. Volunteers will be safely placed in roles that support emergency response officials and community-based organizations.
Volunteer opportunities will be based on the identified needs of the community and the ability to meet those needs in a safe, organized, and effective manner.
Help will be needed most during the recovery phase. Volunteers are often most valuable in the days, weeks, and months following a disaster.
