Public Invited to Honor Top Charles City Community Volunteers Friday (04.12)

April is National Volunteer Awareness Month and some of Charles City’s best will be honored this Friday (04.12) at the annual Community Volunteer Recognition Event. 

Co-hosted by the Charles City Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Charles City program, this free event is open to the public from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Community Center. There will be a light breakfast offered at 7:30, with the program starting at 8.

Community Development Director Mark Wicks says, “Our volunteers are what makes our community special and help get things done that otherwise might not. Big or small, they make a real difference in our town, and I encourage the public to come and help recognize them for what they do.”

Non-profit organizations in town, including the schools, will be honoring their volunteer(s) of the year. Special “Caught in the Act” awards will also be presented to individuals who were nominated after being seen doing something unselfish for others or the community.

There will also be the presentation of the Chamber Person of the Year Award, Main Street Charles City Volunteer of the Year, and the Hometown Hero Award.
