VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION WEEK
April 20-26, 2025
This year’s theme is Connecting Communities. Your impact through volunteering allows us to assist over 500 community members EVERY MONTH!
National Volunteer Week is celebrated annually during the third week of April and this year it will be observed from April 20 to 26. This week-long celebration is about placing a spotlight on inspiring figures whose invaluable seeds of kindness through volunteering are bettering the community and our world in general.
This significant celebration which was established in 1974 provides the perfect opportunity to say thank you. It also challenges us to do better and look for ways to be active participants, joining hands to impact our local communities and calling for more support.
Thank you for 40 years of giving HOPE to our community!
