Our community has become known for its strong sense of togetherness and community spirit. This spirit is particularly marked by the activities of highly-visible and well-known volunteer organizations, event coordinators, community associations, church groups and others unknown, but equally as important and vital.

Each spring, Lake Country and surrounding communities celebrate National Volunteer Week, celebrating the efforts of our unsung heroes and committed community members. There is also a drive to recruit, train, and involve new members of the community in the volunteer movement.

Volunteering is not just about putting forth effort, but it provides:

  • a sense of achievement while helping others;
  • a connectedness with others who share interests;
  • a chance to discover new talents or ability;
  • an opportunity to boost career options;
  • occasions to relax and get energized by giving back to the community as a whole; or even discover a new purpose or passion for life.
