Mark your Calendar! Appetite for Service - Saturday, March 24 from 6 - 10 p.m.

In 2010, more than 60 million Americans volunteered within our great country. In that same year, our very own Volunteer Center connected over 6,000 volunteers with opportunities to serve 70+ organizations right here in the Cedar Valley. The primary role of the Volunteer Center is to mobilize citizens to meet local needs through volunteer service. The Volunteer Center links people who want to help with organizations where their time and talent can be utilized effectively.

Each year, the Volunteer Center hosts the popular Appetite for Service Dinner to raise funds to support their mission. The 2012 Appetite for Service Dinner is an exciting and fun-filled event to be held on Saturday, March 24 from 6 - 10 p.m. at Sunnyside Country Club.
