PHOENIXVILLE: May 13

On Tuesday, May 17th, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, Activate Phoenixville Area and the Phoenixville Jaycees will be holding a Community Service Expo in Reeves Park. Says Shannon Mannon, of Activate Phoenixville Area:

“Authentic social connection has a profoundly positive impact on your health. This Expo is a chance for community members to find the best fit to connect, serve, and improve their health by volunteering.  Everyone is needed to be part of stitching together the social fabric that makes Phoenixville so strong.

Managers reward employees, and parents have long rewarded children for demonstrating the values they most want to cultivate. Now, our community is ‘rewarding’ or celebrating the values that we hold dear: our culture of community service.

As the rest of the world has begun to catch onto the secret that is Phoenixville, we are growing, expanding and attracting new residents by the hundreds. Let’s join together to envelope those newcomer’s into the essence of compassion that service elicits in us. Let’s be part of ensuring our culture of service and caring continues to define what it means to be from Phoenixville!  Come celebrate what we most value.”

Attendees will be able to learn about service options from over 30 local non-profit and charitable groups, with opportunities in arts & culture, sports & recreation, hunger, housing & homelessness, farming/community gardening, education, seniors, and youth services.
