The San Marcos Public Library is hosting the third annual Stronger Together Volunteer Fair on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in hopes of connecting local organizations and nonprofits with the community and potential volunteers.
The term “Stronger Together” became a cry for San Marcos after being hit by two devastating flooding events in 2015. The community banded together to clean out people's homes, to collect and donate items, to pick the debris from the streets and culverts and to volunteer their skills, their time and their money in whatever way they could. It became the silver lining to those heavy deluges according to Workforce Development Librarian Deborah Carter.
“That stronger together logo was created for the 2015 floods, when we all pulled together.” Carter said. “Everyone who was here during that time remembers the spirit, the feeling that we all needed each other, and we were all there for each other. So I love that we use that logo and name for this.”
