Volunteers at Valley View

Valley View partnered with Garfield County Senior Programs to provide $4,000 in COVID-19 relief funding to support seniors in Glenwood Springs with nutritional assistance.

A PASSION FOR SERVICE

While the volunteer spirit remained strong in 2020, COVID-19 had a direct effect on volunteering at Valley View. In mid-March, Valley View suspended its volunteer program and canceled its 2020 Junior Program. “We are grateful to those who were able to volunteer with us in 2020. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked to respond to COVID-19. We hope to have a full return to volunteering at Valley View soon!” shared Kati Ledall, Volunteer Manager at Valley View.
