Spring is a time for fresh starts and often, fresh piles of old stuff! While you’re sorting through closets, attics, and boxes of family mementos this season, don’t be too quick to toss things out. Some of those forgotten items may be more than just clutter; they could be important pieces of your family’s story or local history.

This year, for National Volunteer Week (NVW), which runs this year from April 20-26, we'd like to recognize some of the hands - and even paws - that use their special gifts and talents to help us carry out our mission to improve lives and build a stronger community.
