In response to your feedback from the recent Volunteer Recognition Event and volunteer feedback survey, we set out to build discussion and community during this weeks support calls. Volunteers present were asked to briefly introduce themselves and then to share about what has worked well for them within their assigned armories, at outreach events, or while working with veterans from staff referrals.
