Last month, we celebrated our volunteers with a holiday party at the Ballwin Golf Course and Event Center, and it was a great chance to relax, connect, and show appreciation. We used this moment to step back and recognize everything our volunteers have done throughout the year to help our clients.
We were excited to recognize volunteers with their 2025 Service Awards, showcasing their outstanding service. Each group is recognized with the amount of hours they contributed to Circle of Concern’s mission. We enjoyed recognizing volunteer Bobbie Siesennop who has hand-selected, wrapped and distributed presents for over 10,000 birthdays! In recognition of this incredible milestone, and Bobbie’s dedication to Circle’s mission, we announced our birthday program’s new name – Bobbie’s Birthday Club! Read more about Bobbie here.
Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. From lending a hand in the pantry to meeting with clients, their time, energy, and care make a real difference. No matter the task, they consistently step up with positivity and dedication. This year had plenty of busy moments, and our volunteers were there through all of it. Their commitment and generosity have had a meaningful impact on both our organization and the client families we serve.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for being such an important part of our team. Their hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for everything they do all year long.
