The expo has been designed to promote local volunteering opportunities, as well as provide community groups with exposure and an opportunity to recruit new volunteers.
Bega Valley Shire Council's community connections manager Anne Cleverley said the positive response from organisations across the shire to participate in the expo was extremely pleasing.
"We will have about 40 organisations representing a diverse range of volunteering opportunities at our Many Hands Volunteer Expo," Ms Cleverley said.
"This event is designed to showcase the diverse range of local organisations and initiatives seeking enthusiastic volunteers in the Bega Valley.
"It will also showcase and celebrate the vital work of the many selfless and passionate people in our community."
Discover the Bega Valley's wide array of organisations providing services in social support, animal welfare, emergency response, tourism, environment and sustainability, men's groups, women's groups, youth engagement, historic and museum, arts and culture, sports and recreation, local societies, charity, health, access and community service clubs.
