What is Make A Difference Day and how do I get involved in VCCV activities?

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing volunteer month, a month of helping others, and a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine, Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. This year it will be celebrated on October 25.

For Make A Difference Day 2014 millions of volunteers will unite to improve the lives of others in their communities. Whether you want to help a local organization or organize a project of your own, you will improve the life of someone else.

To celebrate this day of service, the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley will assist volunteers, from one person to a group of volunteers, in finding opportunities to get involved in service projects. This is a great way for students, businesses and employees, or even families to give back to the community through service!

The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley works with 131 nonprofits that offer over 180 volunteer opportunities. Visit www.vccv.org to learn about these opportunities.
