Do you have your ticket for the 2016 Opportunity Partners Gala yet? If not, they can be purchased online! The ticket deadline is May 2. We hope to see you there!

Earlier this month we celebrated  National Volunteer Week, by recognizing the incredible contributions made by Opportunity Partners' volunteers. We will continue to acknowledge our volunteers all year long on our website.

Jessica has been volunteering with OP for nearly two years. She is a member of our Gala committee and spends quality time developing a friendship with Barb (pictured above). Upon learning about OP, Jessica was impressed with the services provided and inspired by the people supported. Jessica says that her volunteer service has helped her feel like she's part of "a whole community of people who believe in this organization," which brings her "so much joy." Thank you, Jessica!
