Volunteer Highlight

May 2, 2024

While Volunteer Appreciation Month may have come to a close, our appreciation for our dedicated volunteers knows no bounds! Today, we are highlighting Carol and Victor Penrosa. They have volunteered with NDCS for the past 20 years, and they currently visit the Reception and Treatment Center twice a week to speak about spirituality and faith.
