In support of our mission – Listen Learn Care – the Office Depot Foundation is strongly committed to enhancing quality of life in communities across our nation and around the world.

To help accomplish this goal, we are proud to introduce the Caring Connection, a user-friendly, interactive website to help you can learn about meaningful and convenient ways to "Put your Passion into Action" by volunteering where you live, work and play. Presented in collaboration with VolunteerMatch, the Caring Connection website provides access to information about volunteer positions offered by more than 60,000 non-profit organizations across the United States.

We invite you to visit the Caring Connection - and to tell your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors about it, too. No matter what volunteer opportunity you choose, make it something you're passionate about - and thank you for making a difference!

Caring Connection Launch Event
