Organizations can post projects and or needs that will connect volunteers to your specific disaster-recovery efforts. Through our virtual Emergency Volunteer Center (EVC), volunteers can actively "Sign-up" for your current opportunities.
We accept volunteer needs from 501c3 nonprofit organizations, schools and government agencies. We cannot accept volunteer requests to support individual needs or requests from for-profit entities. (For requests to support individual needs or for-profit entities, we recommend contacting Orange County 2-1-1, Orange County's information resource line).
