Event Details
In collaboration with Barrington Area Volunteer Connection
The Barrington Area is home to a wealth of local non-profits, making a world of difference. Volunteer Connection LIVE combines a volunteer fair, donation day, and community networking event. Join us to connect with nonprofits, learn about volunteer opportunities and local resources, and donate requested items.
Returning this year: attendees can earn raffle tickets from participating nonprofits; we'll draw names for gift cards to local eateries.
Drop in any time between 1 and 4 PM. Register if you'd like a reminder; then stop at the BAVC table, tell us you registered, and we'll give you your first raffle ticket!
Watch this space for a list of donations our nonprofits have requested.
Please note: if you are a nonprofit leader who would like to host a table at the event, please email Community Engagement Librarian Sam.
