The purpose of Stamford Volunteer Day is to recognize grassroots volunteers who have contributed their time and talent to the city.
The Volunteer Center, which matches those willing to offer their services with nonprofit agencies that need help, annually recognizes residents for their active involvement in the community. Community leaders nominate volunteers on the basis of achievement and commitment to Stamford.
“It is so important to recognize the helpers amongst us who diligently and quietly work to meet the needs of the community,” said Kim Morgan, CEO of United Way of Western Connecticut in a release.
