What is the Volunteer Reception Center?
The Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) efficiently transforms spontaneous volunteers into a screened workforce. In a disaster, trained volunteers help screen and organize spontaneous, untrained volunteers for recovery efforts. By preparing for disasters likely to occur, United Way is dedicated to strengthening community resilience and reducing the impact of these events on our most vulnerable community members.
Before activation, trained volunteers must be ready to staff the VRC. Training sessions are held twice a year, and only trained volunteers can staff the VRC.
