ROCKWALL, TX (May 2, 2022) Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Rockwall County Helping Hands organization, and during Volunteer Appreciation Month in April, the nonprofit celebrated the caring, gifted people who selflessly give their time and energy to provide help and hope to neighbors in need.
Did you know that in 2021 volunteers contributed over 17, 442.25 hours to Helping Hands? During their Annual Starfish Awards and Luncheon held April 26 at The Hilton, Helping Hands recognized these outstanding volunteers whose service, dedication, and hard work have positively impacted the agency and our community. The event was sponsored by Texas Health Hospital Rockwall.
With the help of these generous volunteers, Helping Hands strives to ensure that no one in Rockwall County goes to bed hungry, without a roof overhead, or is deprived of needed medical care.
