Today I participated in volunteer day with over 80 participants who chose to spend their Saturday to give.
In 2008 the value of the volunteer hour in California was $23.29. Multiply the 4 hours by the over 80 participants... the value of our volunteers from this day alone was $7,825.44!
In addition to their combined value, comes the independent skill they offered. One artist painted beautiful "thank you" signs, an engineer helped us rig up shade structures, others are fundraisers for us and now wanted to offer time.
Plus, we got a lot done. Projects that would take our staff team hours - or would never get done - we're completed today because of the volunteers who dedicated their day to service.
365 Days of Service thanks the volunteers who served today, your contributions are priceless!
