Judy, Stephanie, Heather and Melissa What Is National Volunteer Week? Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week has grown exponentially in scope each year. It has drawn the support and endorsement of all subsequent U.S. presidents, governors, mayors and other respected elected officials. This year marks the 40th anniversary of National Volunteer Week, demonstrating the enduring importance of recognizing our country’s volunteers, to include our wonderful Coastal Hospice volunteers for their vital contributions. National Volunteer Week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It’s about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, in unison, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals. National Volunteer Week is about taking action, encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change - discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to foster positive transformation. National Volunteer Week is about you and all you do for Coastal Hospice and your community. Thank you for being in a special group called Coastal Hospice Volunteers.
