Volunteer Testimonial
“My time volunteering at Thumbs Up so far has been amazing. I love everyone I’ve met so far! I would love to get more involved in the future with events happening and meet more volunteers….
Honestly, my goal when I started this was to try to be a positive person in at least one person’s life and to meet new people, and I’ve only been here for around two months, and I feel like I haven’t only accomplished my goal, but I’ve gained several positive people in my life! So yeah, I really love and appreciate Thumbs Up.“
