COH Volunteers Honored as Nonprofit Valuable Players (NVPs)!

Two members of our outstanding team of volunteers, Maria Vallace and Kristen Dennison, were honored by the MetroWest Nonprofit Network (MWNN) as Nonprofit Valuable Players (NVPs)!

Maria and Kristen are exactly the kind of volunteers every nonprofit hopes for, bringing consistency, generosity, and care to everything they do at Circle of Hope. As long-time weekly volunteers, they warmly greet donors, sort and package clothing, help manage inventory, and bring a wonderful spirit of teamwork to their work alongside the Circle of Hope staff.
