Holiday Programs

Every year, the Volunteer Center works to support thousands of people in need during the holidays. We provide an online resource that highlights opportunities to volunteer, give gifts, or sponsor a family during the holidays.

Share the Spirit

The Volunteer Center also co-sponsors the Share the Spirit Fund. This year the fund has expanded to include co-sponsorship with the Bay Area News Group - East Bay which includes our long standing partner the Contra Costa Times and now includes the Oakland Tribune, Alameda Times Star, The Argus (Fremont) and Daily Review (Hayward). Newspaper readers contribute to the campaign, which benefits nonprofit organizations in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. Proceeds from the fund support children, adults and families in need during the holidays.
