New Hope Proclaims April 16-22 as Volunteer Week

Posted on 04/17/2023

At its April 10 meeting, New Hope City Council passed a resolution proclaiming April 16-22, 2023, as Volunteer Week in New Hope.

National Volunteer Week began in 1974 to recognize and celebrate the efforts of volunteers and the impact of volunteer service on communities. Since its inception, the week’s emphasis has evolved into a nationwide effort to encourage individuals to volunteer within their communities.

In 2022, New Hope volunteers donated more than 2,000 volunteer hours to the City of New Hope. These numbers do not include the hundreds of hours volunteered to the city by the Citizen Advisory Commission, Human Rights Commission, Planning Commission and Personnel Board or the various organizations and families who have adopted 18 parks through the City’s adopt-a-park program.

During National Volunteer Week, New Hope recognizes the power of volunteers to make a difference and the extraordinary individuals who are making a meaningful contribution to the New Hope community through the dedication of their time and talents.
