April 30, 2021
This April, we recognized the amazing volunteers in Burlington who have selflessly given their time and efforts to support those who need it most. Thank you to the over 30 organizations in Burlington who joined me in celebrating volunteers in our community on April 27th at my Volunteer Appreciation Event.
This year especially has been incredibly difficult for many in our community, and volunteers have showed up and stepped up. We cannot thank all of the volunteers in our community enough for all that you do!
We appreciate you!
