Volunteers are building a better community. It may be a Habitat for Humanity house that needs building, workers at Special Olympics sporting events, helpers for American Cancer Daffodil Days or Relay for Life, Senior Olympics, Prairie Lakes Hospital and Hospice or many, many other agencies in the community needing help, there you will find a volunteer.
