Gratitude in Bloom: Allen-Stevenson Third Grade shows their Appreciation for our Volunteers!

At God’s Love We Deliver, it’s our volunteers who make our work possible. Every year, we are proud to welcome 20,000 volunteers who help with baking, cooking, prepping, labelling, scooping, ladling, mixing, delivering… you name it!

We are so thankful to our volunteers for everything they do.

On Wednesday, the third-grade class at the Allen-Stevenson School found a beautiful way to show their appreciation!  They came to visit for a Young Hearts field trip, bringing along the $21.85 they had collected in a Driving Change piggy bank as a donation.

After reflecting on what it truly means to volunteer your time, the boys put their hearts on their sleeves and decorated Appreciation Cards for our volunteers. Then, they ventured to the roof-top garden to build custom bouquets to pair with the cards.

The cherry on top was the opportunity to give these tokens of appreciation to the volunteers in person. The students gamely joined our Wednesday Walking Delivery volunteers in the Lounge to share their creations directly. It was a welcome surprise!

The Allen-Stevenson School has been a wonderful partner to the Young Hearts program for years. We can’t wait to welcome them back next year.
