Stories Of Volunteerism

Diane Reale

Diane Reale, Chief Operating Officer of Goochland Cares

"In 2022, Goochland Cares volunteers donated 18,897 hours valued at $651,702. That’s just part of the story. Every week volunteers make it possible for clients to select food for their families rather than getting pre-packed bags. They build ramps for clients to have safe access to their homes. They provide medical care for those without health insurance. In the words of a client, 'They make me feel like someone cares.' In the words of a volunteer, 'I get much more than I give.' Volunteers don’t just help us extend our budget; they help us expand our reach."
