As we wrap up , we can't tell you how much our volunteers mean to us. Since inception (and we're still pretty fresh), we've had 75 volunteers collectively donate 2,699 hours of their time. This is equal to $107,620 in donated time. Time is precious. And the giving of your time is one of the greatest things you can give to our organization. We thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the work you do.
