This Nation­al Vol­un­teer Month, KYC is hon­ored to rec­og­nize the achieve­ments of some of our longest-tenured vol­un­teers! Their decades of ded­i­ca­tion and ser­vice have changed the lives of so many, and for that, we can’t thank them enough! The com­mit­ment of these mighty vol­un­teers is unwa­ver­ing and absolute­ly awe-inspir­ing. We are hon­ored to share the work of build­ing health­i­er, stronger com­mu­ni­ties with this incred­i­bly ded­i­cat­ed crew.
