For students looking for opportunities to give back, the Office of Volunteer & Community Service will hold its 15th annual community service fair on Sept. 26.

“The purpose of the event is to educate the campus and community,” said Joyce H. Smith, “I want [students] to be able to build partnerships with the community [and] connect with the community.”

The fair has almost doubled in size since its start but has kept the same goal for all 15 years.

“The biggest thing is being able to give back and helping others,” said Smith.

Some of the organizations participating in this year’s fair include: The Girl Scouts of Western New York, American Cancer Society, Boys and Girls Club of Chautauqua County, Catholic Charities of Dunkirk, Community Blood Bank, Greystone Nature Preserve, Cassadaga Job Corp, Fredonia Fire Department, Child Advisory Center and many more.

Students attending the fair do not need to bring anything except their desire to help the community and questions for the agencies.

The fair is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Multi-purpose Room of the Williams Center.
