"Volunteer Voices"

Thank you to the communications team of the Montgomery County Council for spotlighting CaringMatters volunteers and their efforts to make a difference in the community.

“The best part for me about volunteering with CaringMatters is the exceptional heart and dedication of every member of the organization, from the highest staff leadership to the large and varied volunteer force. Something fierce and brave draws us to this work, and I believe it is the compassion and humanity that are the treasures found among the debris of our own experiences of grief. Only service heals.”
