Volunteers are making a difference in our communities every day. In Salt Lake City, Volunteers of America, Utah recently held a volunteer appreciation, sponsored by Costa Vida. The evening was filled with sweet sentiments, a delicious dinner, and recognitions of the inspiring volunteerism in their community. Tying up the evening, VOA Utah President & CEO Kathy Bray shared how volunteer leaders are stepping up all over the community to improve the lives of the people they serve.
