Thousand OaksCA - April 18, 2007 -

In honor of National Volunteer Week, Many Mansions celebrated its volunteers yesterday, with a appreciation party at Fish Ceramics in Simi Valley. Numerous volunteers joined the organizations' staff and board members at the local ceramics studio for bowl painting and refreshments. 

Kathy McCaffery, was honored as Volunteer of the Year, and has contributed more than 130 hours to Many Mansions in the 2006-2007 fiscal year. She has been instrumental in assisting the organization's Resource Development Department mainly with its signature Bowls of Hope Project where she worked a chairperson for the event's silent auction.

 

The Value of Volunteer Hours                                                                                       

Over last couple of years, Many Mansions' Volunteer Program has increased to well over 100 participants. The average volunteer has given at least 24.1 hours of their time to serve the organization's mission of providing hope and homes.

 

According to Independent Sector, a nonpartisan coalition of charities, foundations, and corporate philanthropy programs, the 2006 estimate for the value of a volunteer hour is $18.77 per hour.[1][1]

 "In the last year, Many Mansions volunteers have given approximately 2,800 hours of volunteer time. This number reflects those volunteers who regularly contribute to our Homework & Literacy Program, Food Share, office assistance, and special events," said Lindsey Garner, Community Development Associate.  The total number of hours volunteers have contributed to Many Mansions calculates to more than $52,550 in value. 

 

Like many non-profits, volunteers play a significant part in the success of Many Mansions.  Fundraisers, office work,and the non-profit's service programs such as the After-School Homework/ Literacy Programs, Summer Camp and FoodSHARE rely heavily on the time and patience volunteers give freely.
