In support of National Volunteer Week, USA Freedom Corps hosted a White House Volunteer Fair which provided staffers with ideas for volunteer opportunities in the local DC/Virginia area. Miss Beazley, one of the President and Mrs. Bush's Scottish Terriers, stopped by to lend support and thank staffers for answering the Call to Service. Twenty local non-profit organizations participated, representing volunteer opportunities serving the disabled, elderly, homeless, hungry, refugees, animals, and youth; serving those with HIV/AIDS, other health issues, and law needs; serving on issues related to arts & culture, emergency preparedness, the environment, literacy, and supporting our troops; and international volunteer service opportunities.
