April 2012

FROM THE DIRECTOR

April is National Volunteer Month

The Hollywood Senior Center wishes to thanks its’ wonderful volunteers for all the hard work that they put into our programs that serve so many in our local community.  Last year, more than 150 senior volunteers dedicated over 9,364 hours of volunteer service to the Hollywood Senior Center. The estimated value of their contributions is $177,921! 

Our dedicated volunteers; welcome people to the Center and link individuals to various resources in the community,  fold newsletters, work in the thrift & gift shops, prepare and serve meals, check on homebound clients, teach classes, serve on committees, advocate for senior services and much more. Without the time, energy and love given by our incredible volunteers, many of our programs and their impact would cease to exist.  We always have a need for more volunteers at the Center. If you are looking for a rewarding opportunity to use some of your skills while making new friends and a difference, please contact us today or visit our website to learn more. In August we will celebrate our stellar volunteers during our Annual Volunteer Recognition Event.
