Volunteer Opportunities
The United Way of Pickens County launched the 2-1-1 telephone system for Upstate residents to get or give help. This phone system is a free information and referral system available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It helps people navigate through the various government services and nonprofit agencies in order to find out who-is-doing-what!
The 2-1-1 system is a great way to find volunteer opportunities in your community. Many nonprofit agencies not only list their services, but also their volunteer opportunities and wish lists. If you prefer to check information online, go to www.sc211.org.
