National Volunteer Week
Volunteers play a vital role in the success of our organization and have a significant impact on the quality of our neighbors' lives by providing basic needs, offering educational support, gathering items for health kits, remote volunteering through creating senior citizen packages, and much more.
They help tackle society’s greatest challenges, build stronger communities, and are a force that transforms the world. Each year, we shine a light on the people that inspire us to serve, recognizing and thanking volunteers who lend their time, talent and voice to make a difference in their communities.
 Whether online, at the office, or the local food bank; whether with a vote, a voice, or a wallet – doing good comes in many forms, and we recognize and celebrate them all for their hard work and dedication.
National Volunteer Week 2022: April 17-23

Nominators of selected nominees will be contacted to supply a picture of the nominee volunteering in action, a bio and agencies where their volunteering took place.
