"The New Fairfield Senior Center has appreciated the opportunity to work with the Volunteer Center. Posting volunteer opportunities has been made very convenient. We've heard from a number of people. Currently we have a student helping here who found us through the site."

"We very much appreciate the help of the Volunteer Center in coming to our aid last fall during our Barn Sale. Through your assistance we obtained two young men to direct and oversee our parking lot throughout the sale. These young men were courteous , very efficient, diligent, and during two very long,hot days never complained. It was truly a wonderful service to us. Thank you."
