June 2023

If you’re looking for a meaningful group volunteering experience, look no further than Valley Outreach. Traci Norum, Senior Community Relations Specialist at Andersen Corporation, recently volunteered in the StyleXchange program at Valley Outreach with a group of colleagues and said, "I work with many teams across the company to plan volunteer events. One of the organizations I reach out to the most often is Valley Outreach. They have regular volunteer opportunities that are focused on providing a robust experience for the volunteer while keeping the commitment to their clients."
