Wendy Parrish: Northampton Volunteer Fair

Volunteers help make Northampton run! They save us tax money, help us to know our neighbors, and provide an outlet for us to help others using their skills. And the best part is that we can fit the volunteer work around our schedules, rather than the other way around. This Thursday, April 25, the Northampton Senior Center will host a volunteer fair from 1 to 3 p.m.
