Volunteers are the heartbeat of our community. Spotlight on Volunteers
recognizes the invaluable contributions volunteers make to the betterment of
city government and the community. These articles have been published in the
Cottonwood City Page. There are many opportunities to volunteer and make a
positive difference. Volunteer today!
If every American donated five hours a week, it would
equal the labor of 20 million full-time volunteers.
