This week is National Volunteer Recognition Week. I was joined by AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP Volunteer Coordinator Joleen Christiansen and by volunteer and volunteer coordinator for the friends of the St. Cloud Library Leann Orth. Christiansen and Orth are spending Wednesday honoring local volunteers with a limo ride and flowers.
This week is National Volunteer Week and I talked with Samantha Switzer from the United Way of Central Minnesota about the volunteers who have worked with them. Sam is the Events and Brand Manager for the United Way of Central Minnesota.
This is National Volunteer Week. However, with Stay At Home and social distancing orders in place right now due to COVID-19, a lot of the volunteers in our community are being furloughed.
