At our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on Nov. 5 at the Pacific Tower's Panoramic Center, nearly 120 attendees listened to inspiring testimonies from 501 Commons volunteers and heartfelt stories of positive change from nonprofit clients at an event meant to celebrate the impact of our Executive Service Corps volunteers.

Our Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon was held on November 5, 2015 in the Panoramic Center on the 8th floor of Pacific Tower. Nearly 120 attendees listened to inspiring testimonies from volunteers and heartfelt stories of positive change from nonprofit clients.
