Volunteer Connection

To honor volunteers whose contributions help, improve the quality of life locally, Worcester residents are invited to nominate individuals, organizations, and businesses for the Volunteer Spirit of Worcester County awards. The nomination period is open April 1 – May 31, at 4:30 p.m.

 

“When residents volunteer in Worcester County, they are contributing to the community’s well-being as well as their own,” Human Resources Specialist Kelly Brinkley said. “Volunteers who give of their time to local nonprofits have a sense of joy and positivity in their lives whether they volunteer virtually or in-person. Volunteers are creating a stronger connection in the community. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

Volunteer Spirit nominations will be accepted for each of the following eight categories, with one winner to be chosen from each: individual, group/team, emerging leader, faith-based, nonprofit volunteer program, local business, veteran, and lifetime achievement.

Nominees should reside in and represent the volunteer spirit of Worcester County. Nomination forms are found online at www.worcestervolunteer.org. Once there, click on “News.” Completed forms may be submitted to the Human Resources Office, Room 1301 in the Worcester County Government Center in Snow Hill, or by contacting Brinkley at 410-632-0090 or kbrinkley@co.worcester.md.us.

 

To highlight the outstanding services of the volunteers, the Worcester County commissioners will be presenting the award winners at their August 20 meeting.
