\u201cOur community has a rich history of volunteer work, but it\u2019s often difficult to find individuals whose skills and interests match up with the work we do,\u201d Bob Hawes, Voluntary Service Manager of Syracuse VA Medical Center\u00a0said. \u201cWhile donations are helpful, volunteers sustain our organization and it\u2019s often more valuable when we uncover someone willing to donate their time. The Volunteer Fair hosted by Assemblyman Stirpe will be a great way to introduce the Syracuse VA Medical Center\u00a0to a new group of people that can help us continue to help those in need.\u201d<\/p>\n
