Volunteers, biz supporters, nonprofit partners honored

Joel Leineke awards Boy Scouts Everybody needs friends. Volunteers of America Greater Sacramento & Northern Nevada is fortunate to be blessed with many who share its mission to “reach and uplift all.”

Those community volunteers, corporate supporters and nonprofit partners who made significant contributions in 2006 were honored July 26, 2007, when Volunteers of America Greater Sacramento & Northern Nevada held its annual Community Recognition Luncheon.

HomeAid Sacramento, whose past contributions include the renovation of the Winter Shelter at Cal Expo, and is currently working toward construction of Volunteers of America’s Senior Safe House, was given the Nonprofit Partner award. Present to accept the award were Executive Director John Orr and Program Director Pam Herman (pictured below).

The Lennar Charitable Housing Foundation (LCHF), which has designated Volunteers of America as a beneficiary of its transfer fee agreement with new home buyers, also received a Nonprofit Partner award.
