“President Obama has called upon Americans to rededicate themselves to bettering their communities through volunteerism, and Westchester County government is responding,” said County Executive Andy Spano. “I encourage students, retirees, the underemployed or unemployed – anyone looking to make a difference – to drop by.”

The Expo will take place June 19 from 2-6 p.m. at the Westchester County Center, White Plains. It is co-sponsored by the Volunteer Center of United Way and the Westchester Community Foundation.

I would like to get my 14 yr old son involved in volunteer work. I think this is an awesome event, especially now and always, we all need to help for free! A word not many people know.

I agree with the comments above that this sounds like a wonderful event! I also wanted to add that given the economic climate the sharing of resources and volunteerism is alive and what this country needs to get all of us grounded on working together as communities not as individuals....we see this in the end we have lost our jobs and our national souls...
