CLOVIS — The United Way of Eastern New Mexico is calling for local nominations for the President’s Volunteer Service Awards, according to a UWENM release.
Nominations for the awards, meant to honor those who dedicated a significant amount of time to volunteering in a 12-month period, will be accepted through March 5. Awards will be presented during National Volunteer Week, April 18-24 in whatever format current COVID-19 protocols required.
“Volunteers are an integral part of many local organizations and agencies and are the unsung heroes, stepping in to help and assist to keep things running”, Casey Peacock, Volunteer Action Center Coordinator for United Way, said in the release. “Without the help of the many volunteers in our local communities, many of the agencies and organizations would struggle to help those in need.”
Volunteers, from the age of five and up, are eligible to be nominated for the award. Awards will be presented based on the amount of hours volunteered in a 12-month consecutive period and that have been certified through United Way of Eastern New Mexico and the Volunteer Action Center. Certification is available at volunteerenm.org.
For details about the award, see the “President’s Volunteer Award” link at unitedwayenm.org or call 211.
