MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (Sept. 13, 2011)—Milligan College will host a volunteer fair for students and surrounding communities on Wednesday, Sept. 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the second floor lobby of Derthick Hall.
This year’s fair will include 17 local agencies such as Coalition for Kids, Boys and Girls Club, Good Samaritan, Wellington Place, Johnson City Medical Center and Second Harvest Food Bank. Each agency will host individual tables with information about their organization, its role in the community and what needs they have for volunteers.
The volunteer fair offers students and the public the opportunity to meet with individuals from these agencies and discover the numerous ways to get involved and make a difference in the community. In the past, the volunteer fair has been well-received, and the positive feedback keeps the same agencies coming back each year.
“We feel that the volunteer fair is important because it gives us a chance to connect the needs of the community with the talents and interests of Milligan students,” said Allison Nauman, who coordinates Milligan’s LINC (Linking Individuals to the Needs of the Community. “We hope students will enjoy the experience of service and get plugged into places they care about.”
In addition, organizers hope the public will take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about organizations that appreciate and need volunteer support.
“Milligan is proud of the reputation it has earned in the community for service and we hope that by extending the invitation to the local community, we can continue to build on that reputation and encourage others to establish this tradition of service in their own lives,” said Beth Anderson, director of Milligan’s Institute for Servant Leadership.
