Volunteer Appreciation WEEK Support

Giving Back to Those Who Give the Most

Recognizing the Volunteers of the Hill Country

Volunteers are the driving force behind so many impactful programs in our communities, and they should be celebrated. That’s why we’re launching this special initiative to help local nonprofits honor their volunteers during National Volunteer Appreciation Week, April 19-25, 2026.

If your organization is making a difference in mental health, childcare, healthy living, or health education in Gillespie, Blanco, Llano, or Mason Counties, or in Comfort, we invite you to apply for funding to support volunteer appreciation activities.
