During National Volunteer Week, April 14 to 20, we want to take a moment to recognize every Wellspring volunteer and the contribution they\u2019re making. This year\u2019s volunteer week theme is \u201cEvery Moment Matters\u201d \u2013 which is something that those navigating the challenges of cancer know all too well. At Wellspring, our dedicated volunteers understand this truth, often having experienced cancer themselves.<\/p>\n
To our volunteers, we want to say a heartfelt, \u201cThank you.\u201d Your presence in the lives of individuals facing cancer is more than just assistance; it’s a beacon of hope which offers compassion, strength, and understanding.<\/p>\n
From offering a listening ear to providing vital administrative support, your acts of kindness transform ordinary moments into important support and cherished memories.<\/p>\n
In the words of one member:<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to send a SINCERE THANKS to all the volunteers at Wellspring! I am so grateful for the Wellspring organization and both the staff and volunteers who make it run so smoothly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
~ Sarah, member<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Volunteers are at the heart of Wellspring.\u00a0Thank you for making a difference, and for helping people live better with cancer.<\/p>\n
