Volunteers who reach a minimum of 40 HOURS PER YEAR will receive a small thank-you gift (valued at $25 or more). These awards will be distributed in November of each year.
Each year, volunteers will receive a KNCB t-shirt after they have reached a cumulative 10 HOURS for the year. (These hours do not need to be completed in one month.)
