National Volunteer Week was highlighted by our Appreciation Garden Party, where we invited our volunteers to enjoy refreshments, win raffle prizes, relax with a massage, and take home goodies including their own WGB apron, new name badge, and potted flowers and herbs.
We cannot thank each and every one of you enough for the time, effort, and heart you pour into our mission! |
