Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month!
April was Volunteer Appreciation Month. We are so thankful for each and every one of our amazing volunteers! In Blue Sky Acres' first year of existence, we had thirty-four total volunteers participate with us. Out of those 34 volunteers, 24 actively participated in lessons, barn work, or summer camps. These volunteers contributed a total of 850 total hours in 2021. Talk about folks having a passion and heart for giving back to others!
This year to date we have gotten three new applications from volunteers who would like to join our team. So far in 2022, we have a total of 113 volunteer hours and anticipate adding many more to those totals!
Not only do our volunteers participate in lessons and summer camps; we also have prayer partners who keep us covered in prayer, many people out in the community who are spreading the word to help us make connections and build awareness and financial donors who are cheerful givers.
Volunteers make the world a better place. To all of our volunteers who are reading this, you totally rock. You are a star. Our hearts burst with joy when you volunteer. We would be totally crazy if we did not say thank you! Thank you to all our special people with much love.
