  • Opportunity to Volunteer and Socialize with "Person-to-Person." This opportunity is in Darien but looks like a fun way to meet people and make a quick visible difference. The project is on Monday nights including Sept. 9 from 6:00-8:00p.m. 

    Every Monday night that P2P offices are open, they gather in the clothing center to weed through the bags and bags of items generously donated items. According to Rachel Reese of Volunteer Square, "One of the things we love about the event is that volunteers can see results right away."
