This Saturday, the Family Resource Center will host the 13th annual Eastside Volunteer Fair, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Crossroads Bellevue, NE 8th and 156th Avenue NE.

Want to make a positive impact on the life of people in your community? Not sure where to begin? Always wanted to volunteer but don’t know who to ask?

This Saturday, the Family Resource Center will host the 13th annual Eastside Volunteer Fair, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Crossroads Bellevue, NE 8th and 156th Avenue NE.

Fifty agencies are expected to participate, including human services, housing, health, arts, education and community organizations, providing the perfect opportunity for the community to identify volunteer opportunities in which they would like to participate and to learn about services offered throughout the Eastside.

Participants will learn which agency is a fit for their interests, where their civic club might make an impact, and, very simply, who is doing what in their city. An entertainment stage will feature a variety of local cultural entertainment, as well as entertainment for the children.

Family Resource Center is a regional nonprofit organization in Redmond, providing a “one-stop” service and collaboration among health and human services agencies. Over 40,000 Eastsiders, half of them children, receive assistance each year from the agencies operating on the Center’s unique human services campus.
