Volunteer Opportunity
Represent CCOR at the Community Resource Fair
CCOR is looking for volunteers to help represent our organization at the Community Resource Fair on Saturday, June 27.
This community event will include free giveaways, carnival fun, food, games, and local organizations sharing important resources that support families and residents in our area.
We already have some volunteers helping with face painting and manning the CCOR tent, but we would love to have more members involved. Volunteers can help for an hour block or stay as long as they like. Whether you are comfortable greeting attendees, assisting with an activity, helping at the tent, or simply being a friendly CCOR presence, we can find something for you to do.
