Pine Grove is the county’s oldest volunteer fire department. The department began in the building, top, and now resides in the more modern facility. There are many volunteer opportunities in Clay County, including the Clay County Arts League, which promotes and organizes different cultural events throughout the year. Many of the local churches also have strong groups which help residents with a variety of needs. Individuals around the county donate of their time in different ways, depending on their skills and interests. Although there are too many to mention here, the Clay County Chamber of Commerce can help you get in touch with these individuals if you’re interested in helping. Civic groups and organizations also have volunteer opportunities. Many of these groups hold annual events and there are always volunteer positions waiting to be filled.
“The Clay County Chamber hosts a music and arts festival the third Saturday in May as a way for businesses in Clay County to give back through sponsorships. The festival is free for everyone. One of our members from Jacksonville sets up a children’s section with amusement rides for the children,” Mary said. “If it weren’t for our volunteers, events such as these wouldn’t be possible.” The volunteer opportunities are endless. Residents are encouraged to look for a need, and then to fill it. This is what makes Clay County special and different from other areas. It’s also why Rep. Laird gave the heart-felt title “Volunteer County of Alabama” to people who really do care about their neighbors.
