Presidential Proclamation for National Volunteer Week

“Our national character is measured by the unity, compassion, and initiative shown by Americans who help others.  Volunteers serving in community and charitable organizations, faith-based institutions, and nonprofits fulfill critical needs and challenges faced by people of all ages and backgrounds.  In soup kitchens, shelters, schools, hospitals, religious organizations, and countless other venues, volunteers foster a spirit of kindness and goodwill in communities large and small throughout the United States.  When friends, neighbors, and strangers unite for a common cause, it demonstrates that we have the power to change lives and improve our world.”(Full Proclamation Attached)
