Volunteering time and expertise is equally important in the effort to support MDES staff. Volunteer a few hours a year via the Appreciation Committee, share an idea for a future in-person community event, or suggest an item to donate at a future fundraiser. We hope to hear from you soon and can't wait to see you all again in person at our traditional community fundraising events as soon as it is safe to get together.
