We’re gathering the best local nonprofits under one roof, so individuals looking for ways to support their community can find the cause that needs their unique talents. We know a strong volunteer program is vital to the success of so many nonprofits, including those which serve DeKalb County. We’ve designed this event to do two things: connect local causes with the people who power them, and empower individuals to find meaningful ways to give back to their community.
