CLEARFIELD – Staff members at the Clearfield County Area Agency on Aging are sending out a “heartfelt thank you” to their volunteers, as it celebrates “National Volunteer Week” from April 19 through April 25.
National Volunteer Week, started by George W. Bush Sr., was to honor volunteers each year who unselfishly volunteer their time, resources and talents to organizations and agencies to enhance their programs.
During the past year, CCAAA volunteers gave over 9,585 hours, helping in jobs such as APPRISE, Ombudsman, Farmers Market, Tax Aide, bulk mail, clerical and fundraising, just to name a few.
During the coronavirus pandemic, these dedicated volunteers are still finding ways to help by making phone calls from home, making and donating face masks to the CCAAA to be distributed among the many seniors who are at risk, helping with Meals on Wheels and are always willing to help when called.
On behalf of the administration, board and staff at the CCAAA, the agency wishes all its volunteers a happy National Volunteer Week, and thanks you because you’re all greatly appreciated.
The agency is always in need of volunteers. Call the CCAAA at 814-765-2696 to find out how you can become a volunteer.
Programs and services of the agency are funded in part by the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, the Clearfield County Area Agency on Aging Inc., Mature Resources Foundation and local and consumer contributions.
