Wellness Update: Get Out and Volunteer!

Volunteer time will continue! Agency staff members are granted four hours per fiscal year (July 1-June 30) to volunteer their time to serve their communities. In the past staff have volunteered at Meals from the Heartland, many food banks, the Animal Rescue League, Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity and many more! 

Please keep these guidelines in mind when volunteering:

• There must be at least three Heartland AEA staff members (you and at least two other staff) working at the same volunteer opportunity together.
• Staff members are encouraged to wear Heartland AEA-logo clothing or our “Heartland Cares” stickers that were created for this purpose. You can request stickers by contacting the Communications Department at comms@heartlandaea.org. (Please request your stickers so others can see who you are!)
• Of course, you must approve your leave with your supervisor before taking the time off.
• Finally, to celebrate our work, please take a photo of your group during the volunteer activity and send it to the Communications Department with information about the activity and who was involved.

We love to see you serving our communities – please consider volunteering your time for others!
