Volunteer Appreciation

On Lok 30th Street Senior Center volunteers have been an essential part of this center for over 40 years, and they truly deserve to be celebrated and honored.

On Lok 30th Street Senior Center is truly a center for seniors, by seniors. The heart of our community is the amazing volunteers who give their time, energy, and love to this special place. More than 90% of our volunteers are seniors themselves, staying active, making new friends, and finding real connection through their involvement at the center. Volunteering here isn’t just about helping out — it’s about being part of something meaningful and feeling like you truly belong.

Last week, we had the privilege of honoring these incredible individuals during our Volunteer Appreciation Week. On April 23rd, we gathered in the dining room for our Volunteer Appreciation Award Ceremony Luncheon. The dining room was alive with friendly faces, great food, and heartfelt conversations.

Then, on April 25th, we turned up the music and let loose with a Dance Party in the dining room. Laughter filled the air as volunteers caught up with friends, enjoyed live music, and danced the afternoon away.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing On Lok 30th Street Senior Center team for your hard work and seamless coordination throughout Volunteer Appreciation Week. It took many moving parts to make it happen, and I’m grateful for each and every one of you.
