Just like most nonprofit agencies in our
community, The Children's Place relies
on the support of many talented volunteers
to help us achieve our mission. In
2005, 360 volunteers provided 4994
hours of service to the organization.
While these annual numbers are
impressive, it the commitment that
many of these volunteers have made
over time that is truly inspirational.
When you ask the volunteers what motivated them
to start volunteering at TCP, most of them say it was
because they wanted to help children. When you
ask them why they keep coming back, they will tell
you it is because, literally before their very eyes, they
can see the positive impact that their work and their
time has on the kids. If longevity is a gauge of fulfillment,
we can safely say that there is no better
place to help kids.
TCP recently established the Janet
Warren Volunteer Award to recognize
volunteers who have completed
20 years of service. To date, five
outstanding women have been
awarded this amazing honor, they
are: Janet Warren (25), Cozette
Spurney and Susan Sinclair (21),
and Ann McShane and Dee Binda
(20).
To join these wonderful women as a classroom volunteer contact the Community Outreach Coordinator at communityoutreach@tcpkc.org or (816) 363-1898.
