Help Others
Volunteer
There would be no BVO without our volunteers. They are the life force of BVO! We have over 350 volunteers who give their time to serve on our Board of Directors and Committees, to sort clothing and organize the Treasure Shop, to help children in our Preschool, to organize fresh produce for Fresh Food Basket, to provide resources and support to seniors and their caregivers, AND to cook and serve breakfast to students at Beaver Valley Community School. Special events are successful because our volunteers offer their time at Christmas time when we are getting the hampers ready with gifts and food.
On behalf of our volunteer Board of Directors and our Staff, we wish to thank all existing and new volunteers for your interest in and dedication to our organization and in our community. We are pleased to have you on our “team”. By accepting BVO’s standard requirements for volunteers, you have demonstrated your willingness to become part of the Beaver Valley Outreach family. We are proud of our reputation of “making good things happen in our community.” At BVO we make every effort to create an atmosphere of caring and concern for all members of our community.
We believe that the success and growth of our organization is largely dependent upon the wisdom, talents, skills, dedication and direction provided by our volunteers. You are a vital member of our team and a Very Important Person!
“Volunteers are the Roots of Strong Communities” was the theme for Volunteer Appreciation Week this year. We trust that you receive a sense of real accomplishment and well-being by making an appreciated and valuable contribution to BVO and the community at large.
Thank you for your willingness to partner with us, because together we can really make a difference.
