United Way of Union County

El Dorado, Arkansas

El Dorado referral hub connecting individuals and groups with current Union County partner needs across youth, literacy, disability, family, crisis, and animal services.

United Way of Union County provides a volunteer interest and referral form rather than promising specific open shifts. Applicants can choose an anywhere-needed referral or select named community partners in youth development, literacy, disability support, family and crisis services, Scouting, Salvation Army programs, or animal protection. The form accepts group size, availability, and notes. A submission becomes an opportunity only when United Way or the selected partner confirms the assignment and requirements.
