As we all know now, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a rather large disruption to not only community events, but to our daily lives as well. In compliance with the restrictions put into effect by Governor Northam the 2020 Festival in the Park has been cancelled. The Dan River Nonprofit Network is committed to supporting organizations like yours and making the community aware of the valuable services and resources they provide. While the SERVE365: Community Resource Fair won’t be able to happen in person this year, we are very interested to see how we can all come together and find a way, if possible, to bring this important information to an even broader audience in a digital format.
We’re not sure what that will look like as of right now. It may look like teaching organizational leaders and staff how to better utilize the SERVE365 platform to increase volunteer recruitment. It might involve organizational spotlights that highlight how you are helping to service our community during this time. We look forward to coming together with you and other area organizations to see how much interest there would be in providing an alternate version of the Resource Fair and brainstorming ideas to make it successful.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to express interest in our idea don’t hesitate to reach out to us at kellie@danrivernonprofits.org
