People across the Midcoast often ask the same question: How can I help? This spring, United Midcoast Charities is making it easier than ever to find the answer.

On April 22 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., UMC will host its Spring Volunteer Expo at the Flanagan Community Center gymnasium in Rockland. The event brings together dozens of local nonprofit organizations that rely on volunteers to power their work. Community members can stop by, meet representatives from a wide range of organizations, and learn about opportunities that match their interests, skills, and availability.

There is something special about seeing so many missions gathered in one room. Each table represents a story, a need, and a chance to make a difference.

The expo also highlights UMC’s recently launched Community Volunteer Hub, a new online tool designed to help volunteers and nonprofits connect more intentionally. Community members can complete a short questionnaire about their interests and availability, and participating nonprofits can search for volunteers who may be a good fit for their programs.

The goal is simple: help local organizations find the volunteers they need and help residents discover meaningful ways to give back.

Whether you are looking for a one-time opportunity or an ongoing way to get involved, the Spring Volunteer Expo is a great place to start.
