THIS HOLIDAY, BRING MORE TO THE TABLE.
VOLUNTEER FOR UNITED WAY OF GREATER TOLEDO’S UNITED FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Multiple shifts throughout November | Lucas, Ottawa and Wood counties
TOLEDO, OHIO – As high food prices stretch household budgets this holiday season, you can help put nutritious meals on local families’ tables. United Way of Greater Toledo invites you to be part of the solution through its 5th Annual United for the Holidays.
Your time strengthens a coordinated community effort with Islamic Food Bank, Grace Community Center, BCS Food Pantry and Brown Bag Food Project. Together, these partners and volunteers help food reach neighbors across Northwest Ohio.
You bring something essential: helping hands that turn community generosity into meals for families.
“Each of us has something to contribute to a community where families have enough to eat,” said Wendy Pestrue, CEO of United Way of Greater Toledo. “Our food partners bring expertise, our sponsors provide critical financial resources, and volunteers help put those resources into action. When you sign up, you become an important part of the solution, helping a neighbor bring holiday food home, creating special memories, and easing some of the pressure on a family’s budget.”
Volunteer opportunities are available throughout Lucas, Ottawa and Wood counties, with flexible shifts for individuals and groups. Shifts are available between Wednesday, November 11 and Monday, November 23. Come on your own, invite a friend or organize a workplace team. Every commitment strengthens the local organizations families count on.
United for the Holidays is made possible through the generous support of FedEx, Eastman & Smith, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, PBF Energy, SSOE, FM Bank, The Andersons, Materion and more.
Holiday preparations are underway. Choose your November shift today and invite someone to join you. Your time can help a family gather around the table with a meal to share and one less worry.

Serving Lucas, Ottawa, and Wood counties since 1918, United Way mobilizes partners, volunteers, donors, and resources to address the community’s most pressing challenges.
