According to Stephanie Hill, program coordinator of Volunteers of America’s retired and senior volunteer program, the award will help the nonprofit impact the community.

“The award will be used to help recruit more seniors and those over 55 to volunteer for our programs,” Hill said. ” If we increase our benefits we can recruit more people. If there are more volunteers in our program we can increase our impact on the community.”
