Dear

 

The Volunteerism Provision is now being considered in the Omnibus Health and Human Services appropriations (SF 2995 and HF2930) conference committee. Can you please support the full million-dollar allocation?   You have been a true supporter and I know you care about the success of this work. A smaller allocation will not make a difference in terms of leveraging resources. The more funding we allocate the more volunteers we leverage, and the more people we help. It's that simple!

 

We really need your advocacy!
