Community Nonprofit Partnerships

Our non-profit partners benefit from reliable volunteer support to sustain lasting community impact.

Benefits We Provide to Our Partner Organizations:

  • Our volunteer groups are reliable. We show up and get the work done every time.
  • We often provide supplies for our activities, about $15,000 in in-kind donations to our partners each year.
  • We recruit and manage our volunteers on-site so our partners can focus on other work.
  • 64% of our volunteer families say they have supported our partner organizations with time or money after being introduced to them through Generation SERVE activities.
During our Foundation Communities school supply drive, honestly, we would not have survived without Generation SERVE! You guys, your team, your volunteers, your teens – are all amazing, simply amazing. There was one point when I thought I was going to have to work all weekend long sorting all of our donations and then I blinked and it was done… all by your volunteers! It was mind blowing – I am in awe. You guys are the best to work with and I am so grateful! Thank you for everything!!!

We love having families come in twice a month to make fruit salad for our Community Kitchen! Your teams are always self sufficient and easy to work with. And the fruit salad is always a big hit with our diners!
