A hand to lend, a heart to fill

Apr 21

We are delighted to note that National Volunteer Week is now taking place until April 25.

The Floating Hospital volunteers are central to our mission and how we help families every day. Our volunteer history started with the physicians who sailed on our boats to give care to children who needed it most. That same spirit of giving back to those less fortunate continues to animate programs such as Women's Wellness Day,Candy Cane Lane, and so much more.

Thank you to everyone at any time who has contributed their time to our cause. This includes Joan Brancaccio, a volunteer and board member, who manages the schedule along with a new reading program for family shelters that she started last year. It too is completely staffed by volunteers.

While it is wonderful to have a week of appreciation, we are extremely grateful to our volunteers all year long. Thank you!
