The Barrington Area Volunteer Connection’s (BAVC) is starting its fifth year as the spot to find ways to get involved! Since our inception, many residents have found ways to give back to by utilizing their skills such as on the Build Team, sharing their time to help others at Barrington Area Council on Aging, or helping preserve the beauty in our area through Citizens for Conservation. Volunteers provide a necessary and important role within a nonprofit. BAVC’s goal is simple & straightforward – to bring together residents and nonprofits on our free platform and create a difference in our community.
At this time of year, sharing your time to help others is just as much part of the holiday spirit as is
As we head into another holiday season, many of us start to think about how we can help locally in the spirit

Stickers! Is there anything more symbolic of childhood and fun? Probably, but stickers are high on that list. These cute Valentine’s Day themed stickers are perfect little gifts for Valentine’s Day, or any day really.
