Annual Woodstock Volunteers' Day

Planning is currently underway to hold the Town Picnic on the 8th Annual Woodstock
Volunteers' Day August 18, 2012

"Volunteers are the heart of our community."

Have you seen the Emergency Rescue Squad or the fire companies in action? Have you needed them? Have you been on the Village Green and enjoyed the gardens? Isn't it heartening that we have Family of Woodstock, Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, Hospice, Woodstock Area Meals on Wheels, and the Food Pantry? Have you seen a performance at PAW, or Shakespeare in the park? Have you been to Christmas Eve on the Green? Have you admired the view at the Zena Cornfield? Woodstock Arts Association & Museum, Little League, Soccer League, Angel Food East, Habitat for Humanity, Woodstock Loan Closet and many more, look at the list of community organizations inside this brochure. As a community, we are very fortunate.

      The mission of the Woodstock Volunteers’ Day Committee is to honor all of our volunteers, to enhance the efforts of all our community organizations, to raise awareness about the wide circle of kindness and generosity in our community and to model for our children that our community values the volunteer spirit.

      Volunteer's Day is a day in which the members of our community come together to celebrate the fact that we have such wonderful neighbors. This is an opportunity to help us all remember what is good about our community. We are reminded everyday of the considerable acts of kindness and personal generosity that our volunteers offer us on a daily basis, never asking to be thanked. On Volunteers’ Day, the volunteers are the “Guests of Honor.” A community should never take its volunteers for granted.

      The Woodstock Volunteers’ Day Committee recognizes all the charitable, community and service organizations in our community. Our Town Picnic is organized in their honor, a music festival is preformed, volunteers are treated to lunch, their children/grandchildren are provided playful activities.
