Join The 1701 Group. We Need Volunteers!
The 1701 Group is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that makes a difference in our community through 11 philanthropic programs that benefit students, seniors and veterans. Approximately 400 members volunteer over 50,000 hours every year. Yes, this is a strong working group of men and women!
What kinds of volunteers are needed? You’ll be amazed at where you might fit in. Some volunteer activities are obvious – we need people to work the front and back rooms in Thrift and Gift on Vassar, which helps fund our programs. But there are many other opportunities. We need help in our accounting department, food pantry, grant writers, marketing team, technology team, office, and Senior Sampler Gift Shop, to mention a few. We need volunteers throughout the year to help stuff Essentials kits, run our Clothes for Kids shopping events, help our veterans, and much more.
If you want to do something meaningful with your time, check out The 1701 Group. Make a difference in your community by sharing your enthusiasm and extending a helping hand while making new friendships that will last a lifetime.
