“Looking for your niche, trying to Get Connected? We’ve got the perfect event for you,” says Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Danielle Hernandez, who’s shepherding the Volunteer & Community Resources Expo, Wednesday, June 11, at Cashiers-Glenville Recreation Center.
The Volunteer & Community Resources Expo is a one-day event to connect individuals with local nonprofits, civic groups, and support services.
Created to foster deeper community bonds, the Expo serves as a gateway for full-time and seasonal residents to discover how they can give back and get involved. Whether searching for a volunteer opportunity, supporting a cause, or seeking services for yourself or a loved one, the Expo brings the best of our region’s compassion under one roof. Be inspired by the power of people coming together to uplift and serve.
“Volunteers are the salt of the earth” says Danielle. “Your gift of time provides opportunities to our communities which help fill needs, provide support and create relationships between services and people. Not only is your community benefitting from your service, but volunteers also gain as much, if not more, from their generosity – Connecting with new community members; volunteering combats stress, anger and anxiety; provides a sense of purpose, and makes your heart smile like never before.
“This free event is open to the general public from Cashiers and Highlands, Macon County, Jackson County, and other neighboring counties. If you’re seeking to donate your most precious gift – your time – folks are ready to share ways you can get involved!”
The Expo is sponsored by First Citizens Bank (Premier Sponsor), Albert Carlton Cashiers-Community Library, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Cashiers Area Chamber, and The Village Green. For more information, visit cashiersareachamber.com.
