The Roger Hill Volunteer Center has published its annual "How to Help at the Holidays" brochure, which provides information on many volunteer and holiday donation opportunities in the community.
The brochure details how volunteers may assist different charitable organizations, adopt-a-family and adopt-a-child programs, and when volunteers are needed to assist with free holiday community meals.
The brochure is available by calling the Roger Hill Volunteer Center, or by visiting any Lawrence-area Capitol Federal Savings branch or the United Way Center, 2518 Ridge Court.
Immediate volunteer needs

- The Strategic Learning Center will have its second annual Band Together for Learning event on Jan. 22 at Liberty Hall, 642 Mass., and volunteers are needed now to make the event a success.

For more information, contact Rose Foster, 331-3236.
- Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass., needs volunteers to work in Miss Lizzie's Gifts, the museum gift shop.

Volunteers can sign up for short, once-a-week shifts or more, if they wish. These are also great volunteer opportunities for interested teenagers to do after school and on Saturdays.
