The annual Disability Resource Expo is happening on October 28th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Marketplace Mall, and organizers are looking for some folks to help make the event run smoothly.

Since 2007, the expo, put on by the Mental Health and Disability Boards in Champaign County, has been aiming to provide a better quality of life for people with disabilities by bringing all kinds of organizations together in one spot. Attendees are then able to connect with people and resources.

They are in need of about 80 volunteers to help pull off the event, with tasks including setting up and tearing down, greeting attendees, checking in with exhibitors, and helping attendees access the event.

If you’re interested in lending your time, you can sign up here. Have questions? Reach out to Volunteer Coordinator Becca Obuchowski at [email protected].
