Do You Volunteer in Jefferson?

Scouting, town sports programs, religious education programs, food pantries, animal shelters—these are just some of the many events and activities that could not survive without the help of volunteers.

Volunteers do all sorts of important things: coaching, teaching, walking and feeding animals, packing food baskets. But they aren’t always easy to find.

With today’s crazy work schedules and other deterrents, it’s not always easy to find time to volunteer. And because of that, some organizations are suffering.

We’re working on a story about the state of volunteerism in Jefferson. And we’d like to hear from you. Are you a volunteer? Are you the head of an organization that is constantly searching for volunteers? We want to hear your story. E-mail susan.toth@patch.com and we’ll make arrangements to talk.
