Last night we celebrated our #volunteers, 🎉 all FIVE HUNDRED of them 💕It is something we wish we could do more often. Because a simple “thank you” doesn’t always seem like enough.So we shared stories, laughed, learned a bit more about each other, and enjoyed some festive food.Oh, and there were (donated) door prizes! One volunteer won dog stairs for her🐶 and another won a microwave.Huge thanks to the staff for organizing such a fun and festive event.Eugene Williams Alexandra Maria noeligot #volunteersmakeadifference #volunteer #appreciation #volunteerappreciation #volunteerappreciationnight ...
