Have You Thanked Your Volunteers Lately?

Every so often, I write about ways that you can thank your volunteers. It is time again – time to remind you that you need to thank your volunteers.

Here are some ideas on how to thank your volunteers:

1. Celebrate with a team lunch at a nice restaurant (no fast food, no pizza)
2. Send a thank you card to each team member’s home, signed by yourself and other leaders/staff
3. Find out from each team member’s friend where they like to hang out and give a gift card (this may require more time to track down, but pays off through a very personalized gift)
4. Create a hand-made gift basket with personalized gifts (again, more time but very personalized)
5. Send flowers or gift basket – bonus points if you include their favorite flower

Make a decision to thank your volunteers twice as much as last year – they’ll love it!
