National Volunteer Week Giveaways!

At Volunteer Card, we get to work with a wide variety of volunteer and nonprofit organizations. We come into contact with people from all walks of life who are involved in amazing projects around the world.

For over 20 years, the Points of Light Institute has celebrated National Volunteer Week by “providing visibility, thematic focus, and resources to enable [nonprofit organizations] to commemorate this signature week of volunteer recognition.”

This year National Volunteer Week is April 10-16.

And we wanna celebrate.
