Dear City of Clearwater, Florida,
April was a month during which volunteers showed up and showed out for the community. Volunteers served at several spring events across the city of Clearwater, helping families create life-long memories. Volunteers also showed their love for nature by volunteering at Earth Day cleanups and other events around the city. Thank you for all that you do as a volunteer!
Best regards,
Kelsy Johnson
Clearwater Volunteer Coordinator
