AdventHealth Murray recently issued the following announcement.
National Volunteer Week was established by executive order in 1974, and its importance is noted anew each year via proclamation from the sitting U.S. president. The week, which this year is April 17-23, serves to spotlight the impact volunteers make on their communities, while encouraging people to help light up their corner of the world by joining the ranks of volunteers.
For AdventHealth team members, volunteering is year-round, as evidenced by the volume and variety of projects occurring throughout the organization, including at corporate headquarters in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
AdventHealth team members are all smiles at The Mustard Seed dresser build.
“Volunteering is an integral part of our team culture because it serves as an opportunity for our team members to come together and give back to our communities,” says Mike Griffin, senior vice president of advocacy and public policy for AdventHealth. “At AdventHealth, we are committed to living out our mission in a variety of ways – especially through the spirt of volunteer service. In 2021 alone, corporate services’ team members served 1,098 hours and participated in 46 volunteer projects. AdventHealth is fortunate to have so many team members eager to give of their time and talents.”
Corporate team members have a variety of options from which to choose each month, including cleaning roadsides, helping sort food bank donations and creating tokens of cheer for seniors. Perhaps one of the most popular events is the dresser build to benefit families served by The Mustard Seed of Central Florida. The 20 spaces allotted every other month are quickly snapped up by team members eager to help put together household furnishings needed by those who have suffered disaster or personal tragedy.
