Join us as we celebrate 30 years of the Connections Volunteer Center, a community program of HelpLine dedicated to connecting people with meaningful opportunities to serve and strengthen Delaware County.

Since 1996, Connections has inspired thousands of people to turn compassion into action-proving that one volunteer can change countless lives.

Celebrate a Legacy of Service
For three decades, Connections Volunteer Center has:

• Connected 22,000+ volunteers with meaningful service opportunities.
• Partnered with 60+ nonprofit organizations to strengthen our community.
• Invested more than $8 million in volunteer impact.
• Launched Get Connected, Delaware County's online volunteer hub.
• Created Sages & Seekers, an award-winning program that bridges generations through meaningful conversation.
  

Why Volunteerism Matters
Volunteering is more than giving back, it's giving forward.

Research shows that volunteering can improve mental and physical health, reduce loneliness and isolation, strengthen social connections, and foster a greater sense of purpose. When we invest our time, talents, and resources in others, we build healthier communities and healthier lives.

Help Us Reach Our Goal
This year's Guardians for Good Awards Celebration aims to raise $50,000 to support HelpLine's life-changing programs and ensure volunteerism continues to be a powerful force for connection, hope, and resilience throughout our community.

Whether you attend, sponsor, donate, or volunteer, your generosity helps power the good.

Reserve Your Seat Today
Celebrate community champions. Be inspired by stories of service. Honor 30 years of volunteer impact. Most importantly, become part of the next chapter of helping our community thrive.

Because goodness isn't powered by organizations. It's powered by people like you.
