Inspiring volunteers and efficiently connecting them to the needs of our community. Volunteers help with snow removal and basic yard work.

The Flint Hills Volunteer Center is driven by its mission of connecting volunteers to the needs of our community. As our community grows rapidly, the issues we face continue to increase in providing resources for unmet basic human needs. We currently have a database of over 1,300 volunteers, serving 60 nonprofit agencies, and over 125 volunteer opportunities. Volunteer opportunities for middle school, high school, college students, families, veterans, active-duty, senior citizens, and more. At Flint Hills Volunteer Center, a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all employees and volunteers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, or disability, feels valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for employment and advancement in all our programs and worksites. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard. We’re committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the Flint Hills Volunteer Center, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all. Our Core Programs are:

• AmeriCorps Seniors (formerly RSVP) is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 and over. Volunteers use the skills and talents they’ve learned over the years, or they develop new ones while serving in a variety of volunteer activities within our community.
• Connecting Students to Communities provides volunteer opportunities for students as a conduit to teach workplace readiness skills, enhance academic performance, inspire a lifetime commitment to service, and address the needs of recipient nonprofit organizations. Recruitment targets middle school, high school, and college students.
• Su***de Prevention utilizes trained volunteers to educate the community on risk factors for su***de, along with the interventions available for help.
• Elder Justice utilizes volunteers to educate the community on elder abuse, neglect and financial fraud and scams that target our nation’s seniors.
• Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a volunteer program in the city of Manhattan that helps elderly residents remain in their home. This program connects volunteers, volunteer groups, and organizations with Manhattan residents who need assistance.

🍂🧡 WE NEED YOUR HELP, MANHATTAN! 🧡🍂

⏰ Only ELEVEN DAYS left in our October Donation Drive, and we could really use your help!

Throughout October, the Flint Hills Volunteer Center has been partnering with PeaceFull Pantry to collect food and essential items to help local families enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. 🦃🥧

❤️ While we're so grateful for the donations we've received so far, our collection has been much slower than we had hoped. With only a couple of weeks remaining, we're reaching out to our wonderful community and asking for a little extra help!

We know that when our community comes together, AMAZING things can happen! 💪💜🛒 HOW CAN YOU HELP?

The next time you're at the grocery store, would you consider picking up just ONE or TWO extra items to donate? Something that may seem small to us could make a BIG difference for a local family this Thanksgiving.

🥫 Here's what we're collecting:
🍽️ Boxed stuffing
🍠 Canned yams & instant mashed potatoes
🥧 Pie crust & cobbler mixes
🎃 Canned pumpkin & pumpkin pie spices
🍒 Canned cranberries
🌽 Cornbread mixes
🫗 Cooking oil
✨ ALL non-perishable food items and hygiene products are welcome! Donations don't have to be Thanksgiving-related to make a difference!

📍 WHERE TO DROP OFF DONATIONS:
Flint Hills Volunteer Center
100 Manhattan Town Center, Suite 160
Inside Manhattan Town Center Mall, next to Dillard's

🛍️ GOOD NEWS! YOU CAN DONATE ANYTIME THE MALL IS OPEN!
We have a donation bin conveniently located right outside our office gate, so you don't have to worry about catching us during office hours!

Whether you're shopping, grabbing a bite to eat, or just passing through the mall, you can stop by and drop off your donations! Even if our office is closed, our donation bin is ready to accept your contributions! 🧡

⏳ We have just a couple of weeks left, and we need YOUR help to finish strong!

Whether you donate one can, a bag of groceries, or simply share this post with your friends and family, every little bit helps!
Imagine what we could accomplish if everyone who sees this post donated just ONE item! 🥰

🙏 PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
Together, we can help make this Thanksgiving a little brighter for families right here in our own community. 🦃❤️

Let's fill those donation bins, Manhattan! WE CAN DO THIS! 🙌

💙💛 Connecting Students to Communities, One Connection at a Time! 💛💙

I had a wonderful time at the Flint Hills Discovery Center Homeschool Festival! It was such a pleasure to connect with local families, meet curious young minds, and share more about the opportunities available through the Flint Hills Volunteer Center.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work with the Connecting Students to Communities (CSC) program is building connections between young people, their families, and the community around them. Our mission is to help students discover the value of service, explore ways to get involved, develop leadership skills, and recognize that even small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

Events like this are a great reminder that community engagement starts with connection. When we introduce young people to local organizations, volunteer opportunities, and the needs of their neighbors, we help plant the seeds for a lifelong commitment to service and civic involvement. 🌱

A big thank-you to the Flint Hills Discovery Center for hosting such a wonderful event and creating a space for families to learn, connect, and explore!

I look forward to continuing to connect our youth and families with meaningful ways to serve and make a difference right here in the Flint Hills! 💙

💙 A Busy and Wonderful Day at FHVC! 🙌

We had some extra helping hands at the Flint Hills Volunteer Center today!

A wonderful group of our AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers stopped by our office to help stuff packets for the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce!

Not only did they help us get the job done, but we also got to spend some time visiting, catching up, and sharing a few laughs with some pretty amazing volunteers! 😊💙

We always love having our volunteers in the office, and we are so grateful for their willingness to lend a helping hand! ❤️

🌟 Are you 55 or older and looking for ways to give back to your community?

Our AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP program connects adults ages 55 and older with meaningful volunteer opportunities throughout our community. Whether you have a few hours to give or want to volunteer regularly, we would LOVE to help you find something you enjoy!
