Volunteers are the heart of CaringMatters. They are valued for their compassion, their willingness to provide assistance in time of need, and many interests and talents that support all aspects of the organization. For 31 years, thousands of volunteers have earned CaringMatters its reputation for outstanding service and care.
During this time when volunteers are limited to virtual services, we continue to honor each and every one of them. On behalf of the entire CaringMatters family, thank you for everything you do!
