When I think about the people serving at my church, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for each one. In our busy culture, knowing that people choose to serve week in and week out humbles me. As often as I can, I let helpers know how much I appreciate and cherish them!
Many of my volunteers are parents themselves. That means long nights up with a sick baby or child, carpooling, sports, volunteering at school, extracurricular activities, and homework. Some volunteers travel for work, often for weeks at a time. Others have spouses who travel a lot for work. Some are single parents juggling many roles. Some have health challenges. Others care for elderly or sick parents. Some are looking for work or have a spouse who is.
National Volunteer Appreciation Week is celebrated every year in April. But you don’t need to wait to thank these special helpers. Unpaid helpers at churches, schools, and nonprofits are the backbone of organizations.
So let team members know how much they mean to you as often as possible. Inexpensive gifts for church volunteers don’t have to be over the top. Just make sure they’re genuine, personal, and regular.
