The Gehman Award

The essence of volunteerism is not giving
part of a surplus one doesn't need,
but giving part of one's self.
Such giving is more than a duty of the heart,
but a way people help themselves
by satisfying the deeper spiritual needs
that represent the best that is in us.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend
