We are so proud of YOU, our volunteers, for this past year. It has been an amazing run during a very difficult time. First of I want to say of our 2,701 that have registered, slightly over half have been able to participate in our events. But for those have not yet been able to participate and have remained on our mailing list, we are sure that have a heart for what we do and like to keep in touch , and perhaps even share our activities with others.
The rest of this text is statistics of what we have been doing which could be boring to some. But for some it is quite revealing. i.e.
We have 2,701 signed up volunteers.
566 new signups in the year 2020, and 21 since January.

We are especially proud of the volunteer at JdM Soup Kitchen in the year 2020. First half of the year we were asked for fewer volunteers due to social distancing and later on we were requested for 5 volunteers max. each day.
