Volunteer Starkville will host “Party With A Purpose.”  As our first fundraiser, we are really seeking the community support.  Mississippi has consistently been first when it comes to giving. Despite be recognized as the poorest state in the country, Mississippians have big hearts when it comes to helping others.  We are recognized as the most giving state when it comes to charity. We also do a lot of community service that goes unnoticed due to the lack of data being submitted. The state of Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Services and Volunteer Starkville want to ensure we are getting recognized and supported for our efforts in volunteer service that we provide to improve our communities and our state.

Volunteer Starkville connects nonprofits with volunteers and promotes volunteer efforts in Starkville and Oktibbeha County.  Volunteer Starkville has expanding its opportunities for volunteerism through partnership with Maroon Volunteer Center from Mississippi State University and the Starkville Mayor’s Youth Council, a program of the city. Together, we will better serve the community and share our resources as it relates to volunteerism. 

As a central hub we offer opportunities to serve and give back by becoming a volunteer leader within your community.  We provide information and resources to individuals seeking opportunities to serve in the community through event and activities with our local community nonprofits.  And we enable concerned citizens to address the needs of the community through implementing programs and service that support the passion of volunteerism.
