Each year in April, individuals and organiza ons celebrate Na onal Volunteer Month in honor of the important impact volunteers have in our communi es and for our organiza on. Without the support of over 120 ac ve volunteers, the Aging and Disability Resource Center would not be able to provide the wonderful services such as Health Promo on & Preven on Programs, Demen a Cafes, Hoarding Task Force, ADRC Office support and Meals on Wheels just to name a few.
In 2020 alone we had almost 13,000 hours volunteered to our many programs. 12,000 of those were strictly for our Meals on Wheels program. Clearly our programs would not func on well without the support of our local community and the hearts of our hundreds of volunteers that work diligently every day. Currently about 77.4 million Americans volunteer about 6.9 billion hours of their me, talent and effort to improve their communi es, contribu ng to approximately $187.7 billion to our na on through nonprofit organiza ons of all types. In 2020 the Independent Sector announced that the latest value of a volunteer hour is $27.20, up 7% from the previous year. Equa ng a savings to just the ADRC of $353,600 because of the dedica on of our volunteers. There is not a THANK YOU big enough for every person who has dedicated any me to the Aging & Disability Resource Center and Meals on Wheels Program. We are grateful to each one of you and are grateful for all that you do. Your me and service make our programs possibleͶthank you!
Eau Claire County Offices will be closed for spring holiday on Friday, April 2nd, 2021.
