Month of Volunteerism

In March of 2012, the Richardson City Council dedicated every April as Richardson's Month of Volunteerism.  In 2013, the month long celebration provides an opportunity to highlight the hours of work many volunteers contribute to bettering the City. From aiding senior citizens in abating code violations to volunteering in the annual Trash Bash, our volunteers positively impact Richardson in many ways. During the month of April completed volunteer projects will be highlighted to recognize the hard work of volunteers and to bring awareness to the many volunteer opportunities that exist in Richardson.
