Volunteer Nation Podcast

Good morning volunteers!

If you have some spare time in the next few weeks, take an hour to listen to a show that aired on MPR last week called "Volunteer Nation". Midmorning with Kerri Miller hosted the Executive Director of Idealist.org, the Project Manager at MAVA (Minnesota Association for Volunteer Administration), and the Coordinator of Aging Services for Todd County.

It's an interesting discussion about volunteerism in Minnesota--who volunteers, the value of volunteers, and how volunteerism is changing.

You can listen to the show as a podcast by clicking here:

VOT's needed!

Between our radio ad on WCCO and this winter weather. We have had MANY new clients in the month of December. While we're grateful they've found Store To Door, we really need to train some new VOT's to catch up with the demand.

Please consider joining us for our next VOT training on Wednesday, January 19th at 6:00pm, at Holy Name of Jesus School in Wayzata. This is a new training location for us and hope it will be more convenient for potential volunteers in the west metro area.

Spread the word to friends and family about this opportunity. There aren't many opportunities to volunteer from the comfort of your home according to your schedule, so this is perfect for people with busy schedules!
