Students volunteering at Elon's Campus Kitchen.If interested in participating in our community through service opportunities, there are several organizations that serve our local community in significant ways. The Kernodle Center for Civic Life engages students, faculty, staff and community partners in service that benefits the university and its surrounding community. Among the programs it offers is the Campus Kitchen at Elon, an on-site service opportunity in which volunteers package leftover food in university dining halls and deliver them to those in need in the Burlington community.

Just a short drive from campus, Allied Churches of Alamance County is a common volunteer stop for Elon students and community members. It serves the county’s homeless through its emergency shelter, kitchen and resource center, and volunteers are always welcome.

Focused on meeting needs related to education, employment and health, the United Way of Alamance County is a non-profit that connects volunteers with partner organizations.

Habitat for Humanity of Alamance County is also active in the area and in need of volunteers to help with housing projects.
