your gift of time
“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.” ~ Author Unknown At the SRWC, we value your gifts of both time and money. Your efforts to raise funds through SRWC fundraising events and your generous contributions to the Community Grants program make it possible for us to support many very important agencies and services in south Deschutes County. If you’re interested in getting involved, here are a few great opportunities! |
