The Flint Hills Volunteer Center (FHVC), a dedicated 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is driven by its mission of connecting volunteers to the needs of our community. Our initiatives empower area seniors, raise awareness for suicide prevention, and bolster the reach of local charitable organizations.
Our programs thrive because of the generosity of people like you—individuals with big hearts and the vision to recognize that volunteerism changes lives and transforms communities.
Your gifts to FHVC go further – empowering other local nonprofits by helping us to recruit, retain, and support a network of volunteers who form the backbone of many community-driven initiatives. Your donation will immediately be put to action in our area, creating a ripple effect of positivity and change.
Every Contribution Counts
- $50 can fund outreach campaigns to increase volunteer engagement.
- $100 can help further our initiatives aimed at supporting area seniors and providing guidance to the 600+ local volunteers who find service opportunities through FHVC
Donations are used to grow vital community initiatives including:
Senior Support Programs
Many of our programs like Neighbor 2 Neighbor or Medical Transportation are designed to support older adults and those with disabilities so they can continue to live independent lives.
Youth Programs & Suicide Awareness
Programs like Connecting Students to Communities inspire young adults to incorporate service into their daily lives while our P.A.C.T. program works to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
Community Support
We are the communication hub for volunteerism in our service areas. Nonprofits use our network to fill their empty volunteer positions allowing them to stay focused on their larger mission.
