National Volunteer Appreciation Week 2021
This week, and the entire month of April, we are celebrating the amazing volunteers that keep our organization open every day. We have 40 volunteers actively staffing shifts each and every week, 14 volunteers who serve as shift supervisors, and 16 volunteers who serve on our Board of Directors.
Our volunteers come from Brunswick and area towns: Bath, West Bath, Harpswell, Orr’s Island, Topsham, and Bowdoinham.
The Gathering Place is successful as a community resource because of our wonderful, committed volunteers. They give a warm friendly welcome to everyone and listen respectfully to each guest. Volunteers enhance our safe space by cleaning and sanitizing throughout the shifts. During the pandemic, the Board of Directors approved the creation of an outside space with an awning and infrared heaters with both seating and coffee available. So a new position of an outside volunteer was created. Without the continued involvement and dedication of our 70 volunteers, we would be unable to continue serving our community.
THANK YOU!!!
