Volunteers are vital to the success of local events, and we have many incredible events in communities across our listening area.
One group that counts on volunteers is the United Way Leeds and Grenville, where they’ve seen a drop.
Their Melissa Hindman explains.
She also notes that many organizations have seen volunteer levels stay steady.
Hindman says we all benefit from the work volunteers do. And high school students can earn valuable hours towards their diplomas.
Hindman says being a volunteer gives one a sense of accomplishment after helping our community and our neighbours and friends in need.
