April 2025: Volunteer Newsletter

Volunteer Appreciation Month

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and we want to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers! Whether you're delivering meals, bringing pet food to furry friends, or brightening someone's day with a friendly visit, your kindness and dedication make a world of difference.

Your time, energy, and compassion help create a stronger, more connected community- one delivery and one smile at a time. We appreciate everything you do and are so grateful to have you as part of our volunteer family!
