Community Volunteer Fair Saturday January 19th to Showcase Opportunities with Local NonProfits

Posted on by Editor

What: Community Volunteer Fair
When: Saturday, January 19 from 10 am to 3 pm
Where: Pine Grove Community House (225 Laneda Avenue in Manzanita)

“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in” – unknown

Think about what you love most about our coastal communities. Beautiful green spaces? Year-round events? History? Musical performances? Arts & culture?
With dozens of non-profits around the area, chances are good that the things you enjoy most about visiting or living here run on volunteer power.

If you are looking to contribute to any of our wonderful local volunteer-run organizations, then you are in luck: they need you!
The Community Volunteer Fair is the perfect chance to meet some of our local volunteer-driven organizations, find out what they do, and find out how you can lend a hand.
