Ten Great Places to Volunteer in Rockford
April 20 is Volunteer Recognition Day... but what if you've never volunteered before? Now is the time!
Volunteering is a huge part of the Rockford community and that means that last year we took a big hit with the pandemic limiting volunteering opportunities.
But the good news is, things are moving in the right direction and volunteering is becoming much more doable in 2021.
