Volunteer Appreciation

Did we spot you at Holiday Magic? Plus, a new VIP Item!

If we saw you at Holiday Magic - Volunteer Appreciation, then you already know that we are rolling out a brand-new VIP item for 2026 - a Naturalist Style Hat! This hat is sure to keep you cool and comfortable while you volunteer with us this year. It is available along with our other two hats - the baseball style hat and the winter knit hat for those volunteers who have served 50 or more volunteer hours with us. If you did not get one at Holiday Magic, request yours today! The hat has been added to our VIP Item Request Form on Get Connected. 

Here are two of our incredible volunteers, Roy and Nancy Dyer, showing off their new hats during Holiday Magic!
