Individuals searching for volunteer opportunities in Bishop Hill can learn about what its organizations have to offer by attending a Volunteer Fair on Saturday, April 10 at the Bishop Hill Museum.
Representatives from the Bishop Hill Arts Council, Bishop Hill Heritage Association, Bishop Hill Old Settlers’ Association, Bishop Hill State Historic Site, and Henry County Museum will be onsite to answer questions and provide information on volunteering with their respective organizations.

Individuals of all ages are encouraged to come learn more about each organization and its service opportunities without any obligation to join them.
