Giving Back to the Community on Volunteer Arlington Day

​
Nonprofit organizations have held a warm spot in my heart for many years, dating back to my days living in New York. When I arrived on the scene in Arlington and joined the Chamber, one of the first things I did was to get involved with the Community Action Committee (CAC). In the six years since I started attending CAC meetings, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting lots of wonderful, giving, caring people who are totally devoted to the causes of the organizations that they work for.  
Having had a lot of experience working with the people in comparatively smaller nonprofits, I’ve seen a common thread that runs through them all, which is the need for volunteers. Oh, yes, there’s the need for money too (duh!), but let’s stick with the volunteer thing. The Arlington Chamber has upwards of 90 nonprofit members, and within these organizations you’ll probably find more tasks needing to be done than there are staff members, which brings us to Volunteer Arlington Day. 

Since becoming a part of the Chamber and the CAC, I’ve participated in Volunteer Arlington Day every year. From picking up garbage on Columbia Pike for Arlingtonians For a Clean Environment, to putting stickers on children’s books and boxing them up for The Reading Connection, I’ve been able to do my part to help these organizations accomplish their nonprofit missions. And at the same time, I’ve had fun and met a lot more nice people – what a bonus! 

Volunteer Arlington Day is Tuesday, April 25 from noon-4:00 p.m. Volunteering will only take a few hours of your time, but it’s time that will be greatly appreciated by the organization you’ll be matched with to help. I encourage you to please consider volunteering this year – you’ll be glad you did!
