Hoke County Parents as Teachers and Volunteer-Village Co. are thrilled to host our first-ever Volunteer Fair to bring together nonprofits, charities, and community organizations with local residents who are eager to give back. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your volunteer needs and connect with potential supporters all in one place.
✅ Who Can Set Up a Table?
Any nonprofit, organization, or charity that offers volunteer opportunities in Hoke County. You don’t need to be based in Hoke County, but your opportunities must be accessible to our local residents.
🌍 What Kind of Organizations Are We Looking For?
Everyone! We’re aiming for a well-rounded group that reflects the diversity of our community—including military organizations, and those serving African American, Hispanic, and Native American populations. We also welcome organizations that offer volunteer opportunities for families, individuals with disabilities, and those with special needs. If your organization allows unaccompanied minors to volunteer, we will require a copy of your tax exemption letter and background checks of those supervising volunteers before approving your application for the event. This helps us ensure a safe and trusted environment for all involved.
