VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION

Volunteers are the heart of ICS!  Gratitude and recognition for our volunteers is part of everything we do at ICS. 9th Annual Volunteer Appreciation Event was held March 7, 4 p.m., at Casas Adobes Congregational Church.  Click HERE for photos of the event, courtesy of Bob Lyons.

Annually, we formally recognize the work of all of our awesome volunteers. During this event we thank everyone who has volunteered their time during the year. We also take the opportunity to recognize individuals for their outstanding services to ICS and our recipients. Nominations for the following awards are made by both volunteers and staff.
