What We Do
In addition to our community service programs like the HELP Project, the Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry, and Christmas Bureau, we also act as a resource hub. That means we intake requests from those in need and connect them with other local organizations that can help. Likewise, we work with other organizations to collect needed supplies, find volunteers, and publicize their programs.
When a crisis hits our community, like the Legacy Apartment Fires in early 2025, the Baldwinsville Volunteer Center is ready to take action. We act quickly to understand and prioritize needs, organize the response, provide people-power, and oversee fair distribution. If your org needs a parnter, please reach out.
The Baldwinsville Volunteer Center also connects individuals with volunteer opportunities, matching them with roles that suit their skills and availability.
Finally, we recognize and celebrate amazing volunteers in our community in two ways. First, through the Volunteers of the Year awards in an end-of-year ceremony. Second, through the Marilyn Swete Memorial Outstanding Teen Volunteer Scholarship Award, gifted in the Spring to a Senior student in the Baldwinsville School District.
