WIESBADEN, Germany – Volunteers were recognized for 60,241 hours of their time and contributions during a virtual awards ceremony June 30 at U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden.
Civilians, Soldiers, organizations, families and youth were presented with plaques during a Facebook Live Volunteer Recognition Ceremony at Army Community Service.
ACS presented a check to the garrison for $1,531,931.17, representing the dollar value of the hours worked.
“The people are the fabric of this community,” said Garrison Commander Col. Noah Cloud. “Volunteerism not only helps the community; it builds people up. When we take our own time and focus it on the wellbeing of others, there’s something inherently about that that builds us up and makes us stronger people. As we do that as individuals and serve one another I believe the byproduct is a stronger community.”
