Not only is it International Volunteer Day, but it’s also #ThankfulThursday! On this Thankful Thursday, we want to extend our gratitude to all our volunteers who helped make #GivingTuesday a success. A very special thank you goes out to Chelsea Alferis and her volunteers from the RDC Donald School of Business; Aisley Miles; Raven Cheney and the staff at Downtown Red Deer; and our friends who followed our Giving Tuesday posts.

We also wanted to take this time to give a gargantuan thank you to our volunteer blogger, Ryan Charles Parker, who provides invaluable hours and talent in furthering our mission and our partners mission in the community; the staff at Todayville Red Deer for all their generous support in helping us get our messages to the community; the staff of Novamen Inc. for all their contributions they make to our community; and last, but certainly not least, to our beloved donors who so vehemently support our organization’s vision, and believe in our mission in advocating the importance of volunteering for building a strong, safe, and vibrant community for all.
