BrightStar Care Supports Making A Difference This Month By Support Your Local Volunteers In April

National Volunteer month in the United States takes place in the month of April. This month is dedicated to honoring all of the volunteers in our communities as well as encouraging volunteerism throughout the month. April became National Volunteer Month as part of President George H. W. Bush’s 1000 Points of Light campaign in 1991.

Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes. They pick a cause and make a difference in someone’s life. Sometimes the difference is all that matters. Other times it creates a tidal wave of change. From the anonymous volunteers who donate their resources to those whose efforts are apart of a larger national organizations like 4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts of America, or American Red Cross, or a local grassroots group, all volunteer missions provide valuable support to communities in times of need around the nation.
