On behalf of our staff, Board, and clients, I'd like to thank our over 200 volunteers that help to lift people up and build brighter futures each and every day!
From transporting seniors to important appointments to helping a youth with their algebra homework, volunteers are the beating heart of CAPTAIN Community Human Services.
Because of you, families in our community have found affordable permanent homes and emergency food and hygiene supplies when they need them. Because of you, kids have access to free summer meals and holiday gifts. Because of you, seniors can age gracefully in their homes. Because of you, our world is a bit brighter today.
Thank you for your tireless dedication and your generous gift of your time, talents, and treasures this National Volunteer Recognition Month and all year long. I cannot express our gratitude enough for all that you do.
With all my thanks,
Andy Gilpin Executive Director
