WCCBI HELPING HANDS
Are you a WCCBI Member? Does your organization have a need for volunteers? Are you simply trying to find a way to get the word out that you have volunteer opportunities available? Are your employees looking for volunteer opportunities to take advantage of?
Simply send us the information on your needs and contact information (time, date, duration, type, phone, email, etc.) more than one week in advance and we will post it here on our WCCBI Helping Hands webpage. This page will place all of our member organization volunteer opportunities in one place where other members (and the general public) can check to see if there are any events that meet their needs, and link directly to your information or contact you.
For more information, or to send us YOUR information please call Melissa Anderson, Director of Chamber Operations at manderson@wccbi.org or call 723-3050.

Cell phone 814-730-0121
First Lutheran Church has formed a group called “Friends Loving our Community”. We offer help to anyone needing volunteers. We are interested in short term, one time help type of activities. We basically just want to show up and help with anything that may need to be done. We would commit to something over a certain period of time but are not wanting to be the ones organizing or fundraising. We want this to be something that allows different members to help when they are available and not make it a heavy commitment on anyone.
