Schedule of Events
Westmoreland Connects
Beginning March 4
We invite you to join us in celebrating service and connections across our community. Beginning in March, we encourage you to volunteer at a place that is meaningful to you—whether it’s somewhere you already serve or a new opportunity you’d like to explore.
To help showcase the impact of our collective service, we’re creating a Westmoreland Connects Map. After you volunteer, please complete the form and submit a selfie from your volunteer experience. Your location will be pinned on the map, and your photo will be featured as part of our inauguration journey.
Thank you for helping us build connections, strengthen our community, and highlight the heart of Westmoreland!
