COD Cares Volunteer Organization

For 10 years, COD Cares has actively supported our neighbors, collaborating with local businesses and nonprofits while fostering a culture of service among College employees, students and community members.

We proudly continue the tradition of service as we look forward to planting more gardens, preparing new transitional housing units, collecting clothing and food for those in need and sharing our time and energy with the community that so graciously supports our educational mission because COD Cares!

Share your contact information and interests so we can connect with you. 

Thank You Spring Into Service Volunteers

In April, COD students, faculty and staff came together on projects that supported our community. Thanks to all who helped with yard work, deep cleaning group homes, donating blood, collecting baby essentials for new parents and serving meals to families in interim housing. We couldn't have done it without you!

Gift of Giving 2024: Wishes Granted

College of DuPage students, faculty and staff stepped up this year and showed what we can do together. By sharing our time and talents, we supported agencies that serve everything from children’s programs and new immigrant families to homeless veterans and homebound seniors.

On behalf of all the lives you have touched, THANK YOU.
