April is National Volunteer Month in the United States, a time dedicated to honoring the impact of volunteers and inspiring greater participation in community service. Throughout the month, individuals and groups are encouraged to support nonprofits, schools, and community programs. Volunteers constitute some of the critical threads that weave communities together. Every act of service contributes to a more connected and livable world. This month, grab hold of the impulse and lend your time, talent, and energy to making a real difference in your locality.
In recent years, Sound Generations’ programs have benefited greatly from the time and energy of 750 to 1,000 volunteers—critical support helping with rides, meals-on-wheels, community dining, events, senior center activities, and more.
“For Sound Generations’ fundraising events, we have 38 volunteers who make all our occasions possible and successful. Whether it’s helping us with mailings, welcoming someone at an event, or simply showing guests to their table, we couldn’t be effective without the gracious help of volunteers. Our events generate resources for 13 critical programs, and when we all come together, the enthusiasm is contagious! Our gratitude always surrounds volunteers for their time, energy, and support.” — Kaitlyn Redwood, Mission Engagement Associate
