National Volunteer Month

2025-04-20T16:23:08-04:00

During April, National Volunteer Month, we celebrate volunteers and volunteerism. Forty years ago, volunteers were only celebrated for a week. Does that mean there are now four times as many volunteers to recognize? Does it mean we value our volunteers four times as much?
