United Way's Emerging Leaders is once again joining Wilmer Hall Children's Home to help host their Annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, April 25th. Join the Emerging Leaders by participating in this impactful event, helping raise critical funds for Wilmer Hall's mission - providing a safe home for children and young adults in need due to poverty, abuse, neglect, and homelessness.

Volunteers will be responsibile for managing traffic, packaging meals, delivering meals, and participating in ongoing event cleanup.

Most people think of tax season as something that ends on April 15, and for some of our volunteers it does. But some volunteers continue to help people with late filings, back taxes, etc. right on through the summer and fall. 

We are seeking volunteers who are interested in learning to prepare taxes for us after tax season. If there is interest, we are considering holding certification classes in May so that new volunteers can start helping in June. This does two things: It gives you a chance to work in a less hectic environment after the rush of tax season has ended. It also gives some of our tax season volunteers a well-deserved break if they want one.

If you're interested in learning more, please register here, and we'll reach out after April 15 to let you know if there's been interest in holding classes.

We see this as a way to grow the program and to help people who are in greatest need. Join us and make a difference.

Be an Advocate for the Animals – Even Without Volunteering at the Shelter!

Even if you don’t have much time to spend at the shelter, you can still make a big difference in the lives of the animals here. Every small action adds up, and there are many ways to support our mission from wherever you are:

Help Spread the Word: Stop by the shelter to pick up flyers and materials to distribute in your neighborhood, workplace, or at local businesses. Just a few minutes of your time can help us reach new potential volunteers and fosters.

Share on Social Media: Follow us online and share our posts about adoptable animals, events, and volunteer opportunities. A simple share can connect a pet with their forever home!

Attend and Promote Events: Join us at community events or help promote them by inviting friends, sharing event info, or posting flyers in local hot spots. 

Be a Voice in the Community: Talk to friends, coworkers, or local groups about our Volunteer and Foster programs. Word of mouth is powerful!

No Orientation required, counts for volunteer hours! Please contact me at to set up advocate assignments.

What’s a Shelter Helper?
Stop by anytime you have 2 hours to spare, just say you're here to be a shelter helper! Shelter Helpers are the backbone of our daily operations. By tackling tasks like laundry, dishes, and general tidying, you free up staff to focus on animal care — and you make the shelter a cleaner, more comfortable place for our furry friends.

What You’ll Do:

Wash and dry animal bedding, fold and organizing towels, and blankets

Wash and sanitize food/water bowls and toys

Sweep, mop, and tidy common areas as needed

Restock supplies and keep workspaces organized

Pitch in wherever a helping hand is needed

Qualifications:

Comfortable working around dogs and cats but not necessarily with them (if you don't want to)

Willing to get a little messy (laundry and dishes can be a splash zone!)

Able to lift light to moderate loads of laundry and supplies

Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently or with a team

Flexible with tasks — needs can change daily

Why It Matters:
Clean bedding, fresh bowls, and tidy spaces help our animals stay healthy, happy, and ready to meet their forever families. Every load of laundry or washed dish is a step toward adoption day!

United Way of Southwest Alabama's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is growing, and we need volunteers! We're looking for people who want to learn to prepare free tax returns and to serve in our various tax centers throughout the Mobile area. This is important work, and it only happens with the dedication of our volunteer team.

You don't have to have tax preparation experience. It helps of course, but we offer training supported by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Please note: This is not training to start your own tax preparation business for pay. Volunteers are not allowed to accept payment for the tax returns they prepare for our taxpayers.

Although people think you have to be a math wiz to do taxes, the fact is the computer does most of the math. The most important skills have to do with working with other people as a team, listening to your clients, and applying the tax rules fairly, accurately, and consistently. And every return you prepare gets reviewed by a second volunteer, so there's always someone to double-check your work for you; you're never alone.

We'll hold orientation (come and learn more) sessions before training. Classes begin in November and are typically offered on weekdays and Saturdays. Sign up now and we'll notify you once the dates are set for training.

If you're looking to give back to your community in a way that challenges your mind and gives you the chance to see your real-world impact on the people we serve together, this could be for you. Join us to learn more!

Hospice volunteers are the most special in the world! They always have the biggest hearts!     

Regular visits from Hospice Companions can minimize patient loneliness and isolation through fellowship.  These volunteers provide companionship to the patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear and a helping hand. These type of volunteer may provide companionship, care-relief, pet therapy, life review, reading to the patient, playing games, writing letters on behalf of patient and many more tasks.  These volunteers are needed in Mobile County.  

If you have ever had a family member on Hospice, you have hopefully seen the impact that wonderful visitors can make on an entire family. 

This volunteer opportunity is great for students looking to build their resumes and get patient experience. Volunteering with patients 1:1  can sometimes be a little daunting, but we work hard to make things really comfortable for everyone! Schedules for volunteering with patients can also be super FLEXIBLE! Great for students. 

At the end of life, comfort is one of Hospice's main goals. If you are great at crafts, sewing, knitting, or crocheting, you can help provide comfort to patients and families who need it greatly!   

Items like lap blankets, fidget blankets, cards, room decorations, scrap booking, and more are needed. Your imagination can run wild because these items can go straight to patients and families to let them know someone cares.   

At the end of life, comfort  is one of our top goals in our Hospice organization. If you enjoy creating art work, painting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, etc. you can help provide comfort to our patients and families! Any items like blankets (or fidget blankets), paintings, any art work or arts & crafts, cards, home/room decor, etc. are needed! Let your unique skills and imagination run wild as your work becomes comfort to our patients and families when they need it most.        

Hospice volunteers are some of the most special people in the world! They always have the biggest hearts!    

Administrative volunteers are great to be able to help the office staff with clerical tasks such as answering phones, mailings, helping to make marketing goodies, filing and organizing in the office, writing cards and letters to our patients and bereaved families.  We are looking for volunteers in the area for Mobile County. Administrative volunteers can make their own schedule and volunteer as often or as little as possible. This is an ongoing volunteer position, and we can use folks all year helping with tasks.
