It’s National Volunteer Week. A time to recognize the people who make community possible.

This year’s theme, “Ignite Volunteerism,” is a powerful reminder of how each act of service can spark connection, belonging, and meaningful change.

At Between Friends, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They show up with compassion, energy, and a belief that everyone deserves friendship and inclusion. Whether they’re supporting programs, building relationships, or helping create welcoming spaces, their impact is felt every single day.

Volunteerism can take many forms. Leading, mentoring, lending a hand, or showing up in quiet, consistent ways. However it shows up, it matters.

To every Between Friends volunteer: thank you. You help ignite a more inclusive community where everyone belongs.

BREAKING: 12 tons of Kit Kats have been “mysteriously” stolen

Authorities are still searching… but we may have a lead.

Our mascot Kit has been suspiciously quiet

When asked for comment, Kit simply said:
“Have a break.”

In completely unrelated news…
ALL kids attending Between Friends camp this summer will be getting FREE Kit Kats

We’re not saying it’s connected… but we’re also not not saying that.
