Today is the last post in honor of National Volunteer Week, but it is not the last day we celebrate the Shepherd’s Center of Richmond volunteers.

We have one very important fact left to visit: there are 245 TSCOR volunteers.* That’s 245 people contributing 245 diverse skill sets, 245 passions and interests, 245 pairs of busy hands, and 245 good hearts, all with 245 different reasons why they choose to volunteer. Two hundred and forty-five outstanding volunteers – that’s something to celebrate every day. And everyone on the receiving end of these gifts, the time these volunteers give, from clients and students, to travelers, members and donors, knows this to be true.

TSCOR volunteers make a difference. Thank you for the contributions of your time, heart, and skill. Happy National Volunteer Week!!!

Everyone knows it takes a village to…raise a nonprofit? Well, that’s a variation on a theme, but the sentiment holds true. If you prefer a horse of a different color you could just as easily say, “All hands on deck” or, “There is no I in team.” It all means the same thing: everyone takes part in the work before them. In this matter, board and committee volunteers of the Shepherd’s Center of Richmond are no different, but they are exceptional.

Facts are our friends, so let’s visit them often: 18 board members and 50 committee members, working across 11 committees, carrying out the mission of TSCOR.*  Those committees are: Board Governance, Client Services, Development, Diversity, Education, Executive, Finance, Investment, Hospitality, Public Relations and Travel (don’t forget Travel – what other committee gets you to Broadway and the White House?). This is our village and our volunteers raised this nonprofit well.

TSCOR volunteers make a difference. Thank you for the contributions of your time, heart, and skill.
