The Volunteer Center of North Texas makes close to 81,000 traditional volunteer referrals annually. The time these volunteers devote to the community, combined with the hours worked by volunteers ordered to perform community service as part of their probation, adds up to more than two and half million hours! That figure multiplied by $18.04, the current estimated value of volunteer time, translates to the equivalent of work performed by more than 1,200 full-time employees at a value to the community nearly $78 million dollars. Another $10 million worth of material resources distributed through our Need & Deed Center brings the amount of total impact to $88 million.

The mission of the Volunteer McKinney Center is to enhance the spirit of citizen’s responsibility and service in McKinney by facilitating volunteerism. Volunteers can improve the quality of life in our community by engaging in volunteer opportunities that are both challenging and satisfying. This can be achieved as we partner with the city, service organizations, nonprofit agencies, churches, and businesses in our community to determine the needs that we face and share them with the citizens that can be part of the solution.
