The United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades Volunteer Center is hosting a Volunteer Fair on Saturday, March 11, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., at the Bell Tower Shops, 13499 S. Cleveland Ave, in Fort Myers.

Join the United Way as officials promote year-round volunteer opportunities in Southwest Florida and afford the public a chance to interact face-to-face with a variety of local agencies and explore opportunities that fit their interests.

Over 20 local agencies will have tables at the Volunteer Fair so visitors can explore what type of activity each agency has to offer to volunteers. There is no charge for the event. A few examples of potential volunteer positions or projects include Hurricane Ian recovery, serving meals, food pantries, special events, tutoring/mentoring, animal socialization, pet therapy, elder support and much more.

In addition, attendees will have an opportunity to attend short informational presentations inside the United Way Community Impact Center located in Suite 145, that will give them additional insight into their favorite agency and what their volunteers do.

The United Way Volunteer Center connects individuals and companies to volunteer opportunities throughout our community. You can reach the United Way Volunteer Center by calling 239-433-7567, or by visiting the United Way website.
