We sincerely appreciate the support VCEB has received from the public and nonprofits throughout the East Bay for over sixty years. VCEB’s current programming is critical and growing, however, the organization will close due to lack of funding. PLEASE NOTE: We are negotiating for several programs, including Share the Spirit and Corporate Caring Volunteer Week to continue through other sponsor agencies and will post details as soon as available. The website will remain active in the short term, nonprofits and volunteers will still be able to access the site, and projects for Corporate Caring Volunteer Week should still be submitted through the site. Information will be posted here as it becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
