Three of these volunteers were nominated for awards at the Community Volunteer Excellence Awards hosted by Heart of Florida United Way for Outstanding Individual Volunteer, Outstanding Professional Volunteer, and Outstanding Youth Volunteer. Congratulations Karla Reyes and Margaret Curran for your recognition by United Way and congratulations to Hope’s other nominee, Clarice Fourari. Clarice was nominated in the category of Outstanding Individual Volunteer for her work with MOMS class.
