After the success of last year's Power of Good we decided to do it again!  April 13-17 is National Volunteer Week and we are again partnering with HandsOn Greater Richmond our local resource for volunteers and volunteering. 

So we thought, let's celebrate together!

From February 23, 2015 - March 20 we will be accepting nominations from the community of volunteers who rock, work under the spotlight, and do good day in and day out.  Nominators need only write in 20 words or less how their volunteer powers good in the community. You can find the nomination form here. 

Join us to celebrate nominees, see a spotlight of 10 randomly selected nominees, and a silent art auction to benefit Hands on Greater Richmond. 

Come and celebrate the engine of good that powers our community.
