OUR TOWN’S EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE TO OUR WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS.

Volunteer’s Day – A Day of Gratitude is a day in which we all remember what is good about our community. Woodstock is the only town in America that has a volunteers’ day – a day of gratitude like this one, in which all volunteers both current and retired are celebrated. This event is not a recruitment activity, just a thank you and a demonstration of our community’s appreciation. While we are reminded every day of the considerable acts of kindness, personal generosity and bravery that our volunteers offer us on a daily basis, never asking to be thanked, on Volunteers’ Day, the volunteers are the “Guests of Honor.”

If you would like to help thank you, that’s wonderful! You can SignUp to help now by clicking the button below.

Thank you!
