Description
Thousands of individuals volunteer with Arlington County programs. Our volunteers' contributions are enormous: they strengthen our community and enable the County to be more responsive to our residents. Each year, the Arlington County Board honors the individuals/teams for their outstanding volunteer service to the County.
A
B
Is
volunteer
week
around
the
nation
and
for
us
in
orlando,
it's
one
of
the
most
important
events
to
celebrate
our
volunteer
and
to
thank
them
for
all
the
great
work
that
help
they
do
to
help
our
community.
So
we
are
very
grateful
that
people
volunteer
thousands
of
hours
every
year
and
people
from
all
ages
and
backgrounds
to
on
to
benefit
our
community.
The
county.
B
By
having
the
volunteers
do
this
work
saves
a
lot
of
money.
You
know
you
can
get
really
involved
in
doing
good
things
in
our
community.
There
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
young,
not
as
young
young
at
heart
for
everyone
in
general.
So
arlington
is
a
great
community
to
give
back,
and
we
really
appreciate
the
service
and
the
work
that
everyone
does
cherrydale.
C
Volunteer
fire
department
is
the
oldest
volunteer
fire
department
in
arlington
county
we've
been
around
since
1898
we've
been
in
our
building
since
around
1919
we're
there
in
a
time
of
need.
We
are
supported
entirely
by
donations
from
the
community.
We
don't
receive
any
state
federal
county
funding,
we're
we're
entirely
supported
by
the
citizens
of
arlington
county.
D
So
I
got
involved
through
the
volunteer
arlington
website.
I
was
clicking
through
looking
at
different
options
and
vesp
looked
like
a
good
chance
to
get
out
into
the
community,
walk
around
talk
to
people
and
get
to
know
them.
What
I
get
out
of
it
is
a
chance
to
go
to
parts
of
arlington
work
with
people
in
arlington
that
I
would
normally
never
interact
with
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
just
a
chance
to
get
to
know
what
my
community
has.
E
I
think
volunteering
is
a
really
good
way
to
like
meet
people
in
your
community
and
it's
really
fun,
because
I
like
it's
sort
of
weird
that
I
like
working
and
events,
are
really
cool
to
watch.
Everyone
be
enjoying
it
and
know
that
you
helped
out,
and
you
helped
make
people
have
fun.
Arlington
is
a
great
place
to
be
a
volunteer.
