Volunteer Week 2019
April is National Volunteer Month. Join us for Thomas County’s very own Volunteer Week, April 20-27. Volunteer Week is a celebration of service and all the volunteers who help make good things happen in our community. During this annual event (always the week before Rose Festival), we’ll have select volunteer opportunities(of course!), volunteer “shout-outs”, and Appreciation Stations at select businesses around town. THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who make this such a great community to be a part of!
While you’re working up a hunger volunteering, be sure to stop by Jersey Mike’s, April 22-26 and take advantage of one of these great coupons (just click image to print or save flyer). Every time you redeem a coupon, $3 will be donated to HOTC!
Stay up-to-date for further opportunities, updates and “shout-outs” on our Daily Opportunities Calendar and Facebook page!
