The City of Longview is inviting residents to learn more about local service opportunities at the third annual Volunteer Fair, scheduled for Saturday, March 7. According to the city’s announcement on the Longview Public Library website, the event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and will feature a range of nonprofits working to support community needs. The announcement is available at the City of Longview’s official news release.

The fair is expected to bring together organizations focused on areas such as social support, youth programs, housing assistance, and community wellness. Each participating group will host a table where residents can learn about current volunteer openings, time commitments, and the skills most needed.

Events like this provide a rare, centralized opportunity for Cowlitz County residents to explore ways to contribute to local efforts. For smaller organizations that rely heavily on volunteers to maintain operations, the fair offers visibility and direct engagement that can be difficult to achieve independently.

Library staff state in the announcement that the aim of the event is to help match residents with causes that align with their interests or lived experience, and to lower barriers for those who want to contribute but are unsure where to begin.

The event will take place inside the Longview Public Library. Attendance is free and open to all ages.
