"One of the biggest successes of the volunteer program was the welcoming and supportive community-it made volunteering feel meaningful and enjoyable. I also really appreciated the food services provided; they were well-organized and thoughtful. I’d love to see both of these continue next year. Creating that positive environment really encouraged people to stay involved."
