Join the First Sullivan County
Volunteer Fair on May 17!

Liberty, NY – Everyone’s invited to be a part of the first Sullivan County Volunteer Fair, running from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, May 17 at Cornell Cooperative Extension, 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road, Liberty!

“We anticipate having 20 volunteer organizations ready to talk about the wonderful work they do,” said Sullivan County Volunteer Program Coordinator Monika Roosa. “What they’re looking for – and who we really want to attend – are people with a giving spirit. All ages and abilities will be welcome!”

The need for volunteers remains as high as ever, but the commitment does not need to be huge – some organizations are just asking for an hour or two every month. And a volunteer does not necessarily need to be able to lift items, stand for a long time or drive far away; various opportunities solely involve filing paperwork, or inputting information into a computer, or providing wisdom or skills that aren’t found elsewhere in the organization.

“All we’re asking is for a chance to meet and talk – potential volunteers can then make up their own minds of what they want to do,” affirmed Roosa. “Let’s figure this out together!”
