We had a wonderful time celebrating the volunteers who make Texas Brigades possible!🎉

This past Saturday, we hosted our Volunteer Appreciation Lunch to recognize and celebrate the incredible hard work, dedication, and passion our volunteers bring to our programs.

Each of our camps nominated a volunteer for our Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of their commitment to going above and beyond for their camp and Texas Brigades as a whole. We are so grateful for each of these outstanding individuals and all they do to make our mission possible!

Meet our Outstanding Volunteer of the Year nominees!🌟
