From Katie: "Choosing a volunteer opportunity from the SHARE Omaha site allowed us to learn more about a new local nonprofit and learn more about our community. We are moved by the story of the nonprofit and happy to help!"

Kayla says: "SHARE Omaha Omaha made it more convenient to connect to other organizations. SHARE Omaha gives opportunities and resources to have the volunteer know what they will be doing and a contact. I feel as a volunteer I am always making a difference in other people's lives and I know that my time can help me connect and give back to the community. My favorite memory is meeting another volunteer in the kitchen and prepping food. I got to hear some amazing stories about other people's experiences at the shelters. It was a very humbling experience. I will continue to donate and offer my time and effort at various locations. Thanks, SHARE Omaha!"

Erika says: "SHARE Omaha provided multiple volunteer opportunities right at my fingertips. I was able to easily connect with an organization I never would have thought to volunteer with before. The volunteer opportunities on SHARE Omaha fit all different types of skillsets and I was able to utilize my strengths to make a difference."
