Dozens of Alexandria-based nonprofits seeking assistance will be on hand at the second-annual Community Volunteer Fair next month.
On Saturday, Sept. 13, Volunteer Alexandria and JustServe will host the free, family-friendly event inside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (2810 King Street). From 2 to 4 p.m., representatives from more than 45 nonprofits will showcase their services.
“The volunteer fair is a great opportunity to connect with our Alexandria community,” said Amy Barker, the JustServe Director for Alexandria and event organizer. “We hope everyone will come out and find a volunteer opportunity that resonates with them. Hopefully, there is something for everyone.”
Volunteer Alexandria also posts volunteer opportunities on its website.
