Give Back By Finding A Local Organization To Volunteer With At The Volunteer Fair

November and December are called the “giving season.” As we get closer to the holidays, more and more people discover a kindness in their hearts that leads them to want to help others. This season the Dover Public Library hopes to make the opportunity to give back a bit easier by setting up a Volunteer Fair in the library’s Lecture Hall.

Hosted on the top floor of the Dover Public Library on Saturday, November 30 from 10am to 1:30pm, the Volunteer Fair welcomes people to learn about, and chat with representatives of, several local non-profits that are doing wonderful things in the area and who are looking for volunteers to aid their organization.

Participants include Dover Children’s Home, American Red Cross, the New Hampshire Tax Aide program, Pope Memorial Humane Society, Hyder House/Riverside Rest Home, SOS Recovery, Dover Adult Learning Center, End 68 Hours of Hunger, First Parish Church, Dover Area Women’s Club, and New Hampshire Seacoast Project Linus.

Volunteering is not only important to help run these various organizations, but also teaches valuable skills that can be used later in life and in future jobs.

The Volunteer Fair is free and open to the public. All ages are invited to attend, get information on the various organizations, and hopefully make a match and decide to volunteer in their local community.  Note: there is no obligation to sign up for any volunteer position, unless you want to!

For more information, call the Library at 603-516-6050. Library hours are Monday-Thursday 9am-8:30pm, Friday 9am-5:30pm, Saturdays 9am-5pm, and Sundays 1-5pm.
