DP Going to the Fair Find out how you can make a difference in the new year by contributing your time, energy and expertise to the community. Dozens of local organizations will be on hand at a Community Volunteer Fair to explain their programs and how volunteers can help meet critical community needs. Featuring a wide array of volunteer opportunities in Santa Monica and on the Westside, the fair will take place at the Fairview Branch of the Santa Monica Public Library, 2101 Ocean Park Blvd., from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 27. Refreshments will be served and there will be a prize drawing.
Agencies include those serving the arts, literacy, the environment, social services, emergency preparedness and populations such as at-risk youth, senior adults, women’s shelters and more. The fair is a collaborative effort of the Santa Monica Public Library, the Santa Monica Volunteer Program and WISE Senior Services.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Santa Monica Public Library at (310) 450-0443; or on the Web site at www.smpl.org.
