HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Our staff and volunteers work together every day to encourage adults to serve, youth to build character, families to bond, professionals to lead, mature adults to share their wisdom, and businesses to get involved. Last year,
our team inspired more than 35,000 people to give back, resulting in over 399,000 hours of service, at a value of $12.7 million. This includes:
• 1,300 volunteers who gave 30,500 hours of service to support the administration of over 300,000 vaccine doses.
• Over 2,300 volunteers who gave 50,700 hours to help prevent loneliness and isolation.
