National Volunteer Week has been recognized for more than 40 years. The celebration is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. We look forward to celebrating all the amazing volunteers in Greater Stark County who open their hearts, change lives and make our community a better place to live and work! More details on our 2019 efforts coming soon!

As a part of this celebration, The Canton Repository, with support from United Way of Greater Stark County, recognizes outstanding volunteers in Stark County. Nominations were gathered and a selection comprised of editorial staff and community members selected the finalists spotlighted in the special section.
