Oregon’s Largest Volunteer Expo Celebrates Five Years in Pioneer Courthouse Square

Business Wire
On Friday, September 13, 2013, Oregon’s longest running and
largest volunteer expo returns to Pioneer Square for its fifth
year! The Standard’s Volunteer Expo brings more than 120 nonprofits
together in Pioneer Square so that they can connect with thousands
of Oregonians eager to make a difference in their community. It’s a
one-of-a-kind event in Portland, and it’s free to the public!
Nonprofit representatives will be at the Expo from 11 a.m. to 2
p.m. to answer questions and provide information about volunteer
and advocacy opportunities. A wide range of community-based
organizations will be on hand so that attendees can find service
and donation opportunities that match their skills and
interests.
“Hosting five consecutive years of the Volunteer Expo at Pioneer
Square has been an incredible experience for The Standard and our
employees,” said Greg Ness, chairman, president and CEO of The
Standard. “Nonprofits have an invaluable impact on our community,
and the connections made at this event allow these community-based
organizations to provide programs and services that might otherwise
have to be reduced or eliminated.”
In partnership with New Avenues for Youth, Ben & Jerry’s
PartnerShop Scoop Shop is offering a free scoop of ice cream to
attendees who connect with five or more nonprofits at the Expo.
Just grab a Connect Card at the event and collect stamps on it as
you visit the nonprofit booths. Those who collect at least five
stamps can redeem them for one free scoop of Ben & Jerry’s ice
cream!
The Volunteer Expo kicks off The Standard’s annual Employee
Giving Campaign. The Campaign, which takes place September 9 - 27,
encourages employees of The Standard to support schools and
nonprofit organizations of their choosing. The Standard matches
those contributions up to $5,000 per employee. Last year, employees
raised more than $1.7 million (including The Standard’s
dollar-for-dollar match), impacting more than 1,100
organizations.
The 2013 Volunteer Expo takes place Friday, September 13, 2013,
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Pioneer Courthouse Square, 701 SW Sixth
Avenue. The event is open to the public and free of charge. Learn
