This year, volunteers will assist both nonprofit organizations and older adults throughout the county. MDDC Coordinator Colleen Dennis believes the persistence of the ongoing pandemic continues to create a need for connection, care and compassion.

“Our priority is to bridge passionate volunteers to the causes they care most about,” Dennis said. “MDDC affirms that making a difference can happen under any circumstance when a community rallies together and commits to serving others.”
