Local non profit organizations and schools reported that more than 2,000 families are actively volunteering throughout the year - INCREDIBLE!!!

Family volunteering can be done by the whole family together, by one parent and one child, or teen, by siblings together or by extended family members such as grandparents, step parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors - whoever you call your family!
