Malden Lends a Helping Hand

By Chris Burgan

On May 2nd, the Malden Community Coalition and the Mystic Valley YMCA held the second annual Malden Volunteer Fair. With over 30 organizations in attendance, there were lots of passionate community leaders sharing their work with the public and reaching out for a helping hand. It was a great afternoon filled with shared purpose and enthusiasm.

We’d like to thank all the organizations who tabled this year and all the community members who came by to see how they can get involved. Also, a huge thank you to all the folks at the Mystic Valley YMCA for the use of their great gymnasium. It was uplifting to see how many people want to work to make Malden (and the surrounding area) the best place for everyone to live, work, and visit now and into the future.

If you missed the Volunteer Fair but still want to get involved, email the Malden Community Coalition at ma**********************@***il.com with your interests, and we’ll send you some organizations to contact that match your skills.
