Volunteer Recruitment Fair coming to Amherstburg Community Services

By Hailey Zimmerman

A way to connect volunteers with agencies who need them is coming to Amherstburg.

A volunteer recruitment fair will be held April 5 at the ACS office at 320 Richmond St., within the Amherstburg Community Hub.

It will run 5-7 p.m. that Wednesday, with the community invited to attend.

“In an effort to connect with our community, ACS is proud to host a volunteer recruitment fair,” ACS executive director Kathy DiBartolomeo explained last week.

ACS is celebrating a milestone birthday this year and the volunteer recruitment fair is one of the ways they are giving back.

“As we are celebrating our 50th anniversary, we decided to support the other non-profits who are in need of volunteers,” DiBartolomeo said.

DiBartolomeo believes this is the perfect opportunity to find volunteer work at non-profit organizations for people looking for some community involvement. Organizations such as Community Living Essex County, Royal Canadian

Legion Br. 157, the Rotary Club of Amherstburg and others will be in attendance with information tables.

More volunteer-based organizations are welcome to sign up for a table.

“As volunteers are the grass root of all communities, giving the general public the opportunity to speak to many nonprofit organizations all under one roof was a natural fit,” says DiBartolomeo.

DiBartolomeo recognizes that ACS relies heavily on volunteers and would not be able to offer their more than 25 programs without all the support from these volunteer workers and their services.

There are a limited amount of tables available for non-profit organization exhibitors, so organizations are encouraged to get in contact if they wish to attend. Light refreshments will also be included at the event.

To reserve a table for $10, contact Peggy Thompson, the community awareness co-ordinator at p.thompson@amherstburg-cs.com, or at 519-736-5471.

One table and two chairs will be available per exhibitor, participants can begin setting up at 2 p.m. the day of the event.

HOLY SPIRIT YOU WHO

MAKE me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideals. You who gives me the divine gift to forgive and forget all that is done to me. You who are in all instances of my life with me.

I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Thank you to the Holy Spirit for wishes granted (A person may pray this prayer three consecutive days without asking for their wish, after the third day, their wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be, and promise to publish this dialogue as soon as your favour has been granted).
