Volunteer Fair Connects Residents with Local Nonprofit Opportunities

The City of Bloomington Volunteer Network (CBVN) will host its annual  Volunteer Fair from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6 at Fernandez Plaza in front of Bloomington City Hall, 401 N. Morton St. The fair will be held in conjunction with the Saturday Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market, which draws a wide range of community members each week, providing an excellent opportunity to engage potential volunteers.

"The Volunteer Fair is a powerful opportunity for residents to connect directly with nonprofits serving Bloomington, Monroe County and surrounding areas," said Shatoyia Moss, Director of the Bloomington Community and Family Resources Department. "It’s a space where organizations can showcase their programs and share their needs, while community members can ask questions, explore causes they care about, and discover meaningful ways to get involved. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a difference locally, this event is a great place to start."

Table registration is free and now open. Space is limited, and registration will close on August 29 or once all spots are filled. 

The CBVN seeks to build a strong, healthy, and engaged community by connecting volunteers of all ages with opportunities to serve and by providing resources to volunteers and agencies to develop creative and effective volunteer projects, programs, and partnerships. The CBVN aims to inspire, support, and celebrate volunteerism in our community.
