URGENT UPDATE: The Macomb County Office of Senior Services is urgently seeking volunteers for its upcoming Volunteer Recruitment Fair, set to take place on September 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This free event aims to connect nonprofits and government organizations with individuals looking to make a difference in their community.
This year’s fair coincides with the nationwide Day of Service, honoring the victims and heroes of 9/11. By encouraging year-round volunteerism, the event reflects a commitment to service that goes beyond a single day. As Director Sheila Cote stated, “This is a great opportunity for any organization that is seeking volunteers to promote volunteer opportunities that are available at their organization.”
Last year’s inaugural fair drew an impressive turnout, and organizers are hopeful for an even larger response this year. The Volunteer Recruitment Fair will take place at the Robert A. VerKuilen Building, located at 21885 Dunham Road, Clinton Township. Attendees will have the chance to explore various volunteer opportunities available in their area, making it easy for community members to find ways to contribute.
Organizations interested in participating can register online at macombgov.org/departments/senior-services/volunteer, call 586-783-0958, or email [email protected]. This is a vital moment for local nonprofits and government agencies to attract passionate volunteers who can help amplify their missions.
With the urgency of the approaching date, potential volunteers and organizations are encouraged to act swiftly. This fair not only supports community engagement but also fosters a spirit of collaboration that can lead to meaningful change.
Mark your calendars and spread the word—together, we can honor the legacy of 9/11 by committing to serve our communities year-round.
