T he Volunteer Center's mission is to promote the values of the Fox Valley community through volunteerism. The Center advances civic responsibility as well as individual values such as growth, learning, health, wellness and pride by connecting those in need with those who are willing to give. Enterprising NONPROFITS supports that mission, and we are very proud to be part of developing this exciting and innovative effort.
