UWGAT Celebrates National Volunteer Appreciation Month

April is National Volunteer Appreciation month and UWGAT would like to take this opportunity to thank the countless volunteers who help us throughout the year.  These special individuals give of their time, talents and treasures helping us on our mission to “advance the common good.”

We are blessed by organizations that support “Days of Caring” by adopting special projects for organizations within our community.  Employees volunteer to work together (landscaping, painting, minor construction etc.) saving critical operating funds for organizations allowing them maximum program investment.  UWGAT’s 13^th annual Days of Caring is kicking off during National Volunteer Month’s volunteer week April 15-21. 

UWGAT is also fortunate to have individuals supporting our
community by volunteering to serve on such committees as: the Board of Directors, Board Subcommittees, Incorporators, Community Impact Committee, Community Allocation Panels, Homeless and other program Coalitions, UWGAT events, and internally, within our administration.

Volunteers make a significant difference and are typically the communities’ unsung heroes.  We would like to say thank you for volunteering to improve the education, finances, and health of your community.  By giving your time, you are creating opportunities for a good life for all.  Thank you for reaching out a hand to one and influencing the condition of all.

We encourage anyone interested in becoming more involved with UWGAT to please contact us at 508-222-2337 and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
