Dear Friends,
Being that April marks Volunteer Appreciation Month, I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to all of those people who have given so generously of their time and talents to help WCC fulfill its mission. This is in addition to the thousands who already support WCC philanthropically with generous donations!
In fact, I’d like to show you the impact that all our volunteers have on our organization. This infographic showcases a few key stats from 2018. As you can see, volunteers spent more than 50,000 hours (more than 50,000!) volunteering on behalf of WCC last year. That’s nothing short of amazing! Approximately 40,000 of those hours are spent by our Puppy Parents — helping to train future service dogs. What isn’t taken into account are the almost two years they spend helping to raise our amazing pups — caring for, feeding, transporting and nurturing these wonderful future service dogs in training.
All these numbers are impressive and impactful but what you can’t quantify are the life-changing relationships that have been built through our volunteer network, the friendships, caring and compassion and true “connections” that enable us to do our jobs and provide the much-needed support to our Veterans in need. That’s a true intangible, and it wouldn’t be possible without so many people across the country.
