Volunteer Recognition Event

We invited our terrific Help@Home and JET Express volunteers to a ‘thank you’ reception at Johnny’s Tavern, who kindly donated the food. We’ll be hosting a variety of recognition events throughout the year, and this was a great start! Please enjoy our photo collage from the event here!
