As National Volunteer Appreciation Week approaches, I‘ve realized how inspired I am by our local volunteers. They help in so many ways: coaching sports and mentoring children, helping neighbors file their taxes, cleaning up parks, responding to disasters, stocking food pantries, lending a helping hand to seniors, supporting church and service club programs, championing the arts, assisting in our schools, serving on boards and advisory committees, and so much more.
