7 个月So honored to work at Volunteers in Plano! It's a blast to engage folks through volunteerism and support staff throughout the City who work with volunteers. ??
As a community, Plano is known for its give-back nature. That being said, the way the City of Plano has implemented volunteers to deliver bottom-line impact *and* provide meaningful opportunities for connection and service is a national model. I can't get past these numbers in the 2023 annual report: * 6,619 volunteers giving * 76,674 hours of service which equals * $2,438,233 value Unbelievable! I'm so thankful to work in Plano and call Plano home. #LovePlano
