Each year since 1994, SourcePoint has recognized and honored its valued volunteers with a Volunteer Appreciation Event. This year’s celebration took place April 17 during National Volunteer Month.

The dinner, which was prepared and served by SourcePoint staff, celebrated the contributions and accomplishments of SourcePoint’s volunteers. The evening was presented by OhioHealth and Willow Brook Christian Communities, and sponsored by The Inn at Olentangy Trail, Ohio Living Sarah Moore and VRI Cares.

“SourcePoint has more than 700 active volunteers who assist with programs and services that help Delaware County older adults,” said Executive Director Bob Horrocks. “In 2017, volunteers donated 61,000 hours of service to SourcePoint, which equates to a contribution of time valued at just under $1.5 million.”

Horrocks also pointed out that last year, volunteers cooked, packed, and delivered more than 190,000 meals and served nearly 27,000 meals in community dining centers. Meals on Wheels volunteers drove 165,000 miles and served 1,053 clients. Other volunteers drove 1,036 individuals to medical appointments and assisted with many of the enrichment center’s 13,000 health and wellness programs.
