Family Volunteer Day 4/12/14 - Volunteer Center of Bergen County, NJ
- 1. 2014
- 2. A partnership between the Volunteer Center and the Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization (MEVO) Two new sponsors – Boiling Springs Bank - $1000 Presenting Sponsor Whole Foods – beverage and snack sponsor (gift in kind) 100 volunteers!!!!! Many of these volunteers have only been involved marginally through programs such as Bike Tour, All Wrapped Up, Mentoring Youth. Opportunity to get them more involved with us.
