In the media, the Charlotte Business Journal mentioned one of our super-volunteers last Friday. Mary Forgach serves as our liaison with Transamerica Reinsurance and with the Forgach family. Over the years, Transamerica Reinsurance has volunteered with Hands On Charlotte at W.G. Byers Elementary School. Mary has routinely served as team captain. In addition, she has organized family teams for other projects, volunteering last at our Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day event this year at the Tyvola Senior Center. We wouldn’t be able to operate without volunteers like Mary, who mobilize not only themselves, but also their co-workers, family and friends. Thank you to Mary and everyone else who have helped Charlotte’s non-profit community through Hands On Charlotte.
With that said, here are opportunities this weekend to volunteer in Charlotte!
