Mission Statement

Volunteer Network OC is a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals and families in Orange County who are in need of food, shelter, clothing and other basic necessities by connecting volunteers with organizations providing those services. We do this through an inspiring social media platform that makes volunteering easy and accessible to everyone.

Theory Behind Our Mission Statement

Our goal is to help individuals and families who are in need of shelter, food, clothing and other basic necessities. We have identified four pieces to this puzzle. They are: (a) non-profit and community organizations who directly serve the less-fortunate in our community (the “Direct Providers”); (b) support organizations, such as food banks, who assist the Direct Providers; (c) donors who fund the activities of the Direct Providers and support organizations, and (d) volunteers who serve the poor under the guidance of the Direct Providers and support organizations. We wish to bridge the gap between the Direct Providers and the public through a social media platform designed to make volunteering easy and accessible to everyone. Additionally, we wish to educate the public about the people who need and deserve our help and the incredible people and organizations serving as Direct Providers and support organizations. Their stories are inspiring!
