Hamilton and Burlington Celebrate Their Volunteers

Close to 200 people packed the room at the Salvation Army’s Hamilton/Burlington Annual Volunteer Appreciation night at Mountain Citadel in Hamilton. The night was held as an opportunity for The Salvation Army to say thank you to the many volunteers who make such an outstanding difference in the programs and services offered across the region.

Lieutenant Colonels Lee and Debbie Graves were on hand, as were guests from the Hamilton Tiger Cats (including #27 Defensive Back Jerome Dennis), and volunteers from the ministries. Volunteers were thanked for the gift of their time, energy and talents. Special “Applause Awards” were given to outstanding volunteers from each program.
