Thank you.
Thank you for the early mornings, the late afternoons, the listening ears, the practical help, the encouragement, the patience, and the care.
Thank you for believing in the mission of New Mornings.
Thank you for helping us create spaces where people feel safe, valued, and connected.
Thank you for choosing community.
Volunteers do not just support what we do.
They are part of who we are.
As our CEO, Kelly, shared in her speech last night,  as a volunteer, you come in, not knowing what the day or session will bring, but you come anyway. You give, even when you feel like you have little left to give yourself. It takes strength to be compassionate, and courage to show up for others. And yet you show up, you stay the course, you hold space for others, and you walk with people through some of the most difficult seasons of their lives. 
We are incredibly blessed to walk alongside such generous and compassionate people.
