Today, November 5, is International Volunteer Managers Day so please help us recognize and celebrate the dedication of our Volunteer Coordinator, Keara Pagniello. We appreciate all of the amazing work that you have done for Women’s Resources. 💜
We would also like to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for giving us a grant to hire a Volunteer Coordinator to recreate and strengthen the volunteer program after COVID. We now have over 100 volunteers throughout the organization. Without this grant and Keara, our volunteer program would not be where it is today!
