Volunteers are at the Heart of the Festival
Working together to provide educational tools for local students
The Virginia Wine & Garlic Festival is only made possible by the 200+ volunteers who assist year after year. Once again, the Amherst Rotary Club is seeking volunteers to help staff this event. Funds the Club receives for its assistance are used to support the Amherst Rotary Club’s Globe Project, which provides world globes to all of our ACPS second-grade students.
Volunteers receive a 1-Day Personal Pass to the event, a Wine & Garlic Festival Tee, a Food Voucher, and a commemorative wine glass!
