We Love Our Volunteers!

Volunteer Appreciation 2025

National Volunteer Week takes place each year in April.  From April 20-26, 2025, we want to honor and celebrate all of our volunteers who support Goshen Community Care’s mission and allow us to provide some amazing programs and services to our community.  Without YOU there would be no US.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do to support our wonderful organization!

Here are just a few of the special people in our Goshen community who give their time so generously to support our work:

Janet Hooper

A longtime volunteer at Goshen Community Care… she’s seen and heard it all. She delivers meals with a smile, visits friends in need, sells water, gives rides, and helpful advice! Thanks for ALL you’ve contributed to our organization over the many many years of service. You’ve been the driving force as one of our founders. Keep pushing us to greatness, Janet!

Mary Orlando

Darlene has been a huge help recently with giving community members rides to any and everything from yoga, doctor’s appointments and social gatherings. We wouldn’t be able to do it all without you Darlene!
