Central Volunteer Bureau opened in May 1952. Its purpose was to make the best use of volunteer help in the city. By 1953, 40 agencies had been contacted, and 1,117 volunteers, placed. The League received the Mayfair Award for community service in 1954 for establishing the Central Volunteer Bureau. A community board was set up for the Central Volunteer Bureau in 1956, and the bureau was accepted into the United Community Fund in 1961.
