Volunteers make a difference every day!
A commitment to transforming the lives of people impacted
by disabilities is made possible with the support of volunteers
who share their talents and passion. We sincerely appreciate
the work of our volunteers every day and will be celebrating
and recognizing them in April during National Volunteer
Month.
“Volunteers enrich lives by helping people with disabilities
experience a valued role in society, increasing
self-assurance, wellness, independence and quality of life,”
said Toni Gillen, Director of Community Life, Living Well
Disability Services. “At the same time, volunteers have told
us that they receive even more in return; new friendships, a
sense of purpose and new skills.”
