Viva Espresso to Host Volunteer Cafe
February 9, 2010
Individuals interested in learning about opportunities to volunteer for nonprofit organizations in Wicomico County will get the latest information available at the ShoreCAN Volunteer Café on Tuesday, February 16th from 5-7 p.m. at the Viva Espresso on East College Avenue in Salisbury.
"The Volunteer Café is a wonderful opportunity to match community volunteers with nonprofit organizations that need their help," said Jon Fitzsimmons, coordinator of the ShoreCAN Volunteer Center. "Anyone attending the Volunteer Café will enjoy drinks, fellowship and learn about current opportunities to help the community," he added.
The event is being organized by the ShoreCAN Volunteer Center which is sponsored by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. The purpose of the Volunteer Café is to create an opportunity to match community volunteers with local nonprofit organizations that need their help.
"ShoreCAN is like an e-Harmony for volunteers," Fitzsimmons said. "Anyone looking to match their interest with a local nonprofit is very likely to find just the right fit." Over 80 nonprofit organizations have registered their volunteer opportunities on the Community Foundation’s ShoreCAN website, www.shorecan.org.
The ShoreCAN Volunteer Center actively connects individuals who want to volunteer with nonprofit organizations who offer meaningful opportunities to serve. Individuals seeking volunteer opportunities and local nonprofit organizations needing volunteers are encouraged to attend the ShoreCAN Volunteer Café, or visit www.shorecan.org, or call the Community Foundation at 410-742-9911 to learn more.
