Buffalo, NY – Local service organizations and volunteers will gather on Buffalo's waterfront Saturday to make the case for national service. The Service Nation Day of Action event is one of more than 2,500 happening all over the country on the same day.
Volunteers will offer testimonials throughout the day about their experiences serving the community. And there will be a panel discussion in the afternoon, moderated by WBFO, where community leaders will talk about the importance and future of national service. WBFO's Joyce Kryszak talked with Patrick Metzger from Americorps, the group hosting the event.
Testimonials begin at 6:00 AM and continue until the panel discussion at 3:00 PM until 4:00 PM. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.
