Town develops a program to help encourage volunteer participation and retention.

The Town of Gate City is actively seeking individuals who would like to volunteer to help with special events and activities. Gate City hosts a number of events throughout the year: weekly free concert series, car & truck shows, BBQ & music festival, Halloween event, and Christmas Open House.

“We are blessed to have committed Volunteers” said Greg Jones, Town Manager for Gate City “Our Volunteers are the reason behind the success of our events.”

The Town of Gate City has developed a program that will help recruit and retain Volunteers. The program will not only recognize Volunteers they will receive special event t-shirts and other gifts donated by local businesses. Those who are committed will be recognized on the Town’s Volunteer Hall of Fame website. There will be a special presentation and award for the Volunteer of the Year.

We are inviting students who are looking for volunteer hours for his or her curriculum. If you love music then come out and help with the sound system during our concerts. It’s a lot of fun! If you have a particular interest let us know.

The Town is having a Civic Engagement meeting on Monday, October 12th, 2015 at 5:30 PM. The meeting will be at the Town Hall on 156 East Jackson Street. If you would like to learn about the volunteer opportunities in Gate City and how you can help please attend!

“We are hoping that you will attend” said Amanda McKenna, Gate City Town Clerk. “We will have a great program lined out and Gate City Pizza Plus and Smoke-n-Pig BBQ is bringing the food!”
