Celebrating the Heart of Our Mission: KAA Volunteers

At KAA, we are constantly inspired by the dedication and generosity of our volunteers. As we begin Volunteer Appreciation Month, we want to recognize the incredible impact our 100+ volunteers have on KAA’s mission. From organizing events to providing vital services, these passionate individuals contribute nearly 2,000 hours of their time each year—helping KAA make a real difference in our community.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of KAA; their commitment and selflessness allow us to extend our reach, serve more people, and improve lives in ways we couldn’t do alone. For example, KAA’s Engage Program offers nearly 50 social activities every month on weeknights and weekends. Volunteers join activities such as dining at a new restaurant, enjoying a sporting event, making crafts, bowling and more; volunteers encourage outing participants to explore new interests and to connect with others. Be assured, the time together benefits volunteers as much as those who participate in KAA activities.

“Supporting KAA’s Engage Program and participants as they enjoy fun activities in the community with their friends, is a purely positive and enriching experience for volunteers – it is rewarding beyond measure.”                                     – Linda Chaney

KAA volunteers don’t just donate their time—they bring skills, enthusiasm, and fresh perspectives that enrich everything we do. Whether it’s offering expertise or lending a hand for special events, the contributions of our volunteers are felt year-round. The energy they bring keeps our nonprofit moving forward and reminds us why we do what we do.

“It’s great helping local organizations like KAA. It’s a pleasure getting to know everyone that works for OR receives help/services through KAA. Such wonderful people.”     –  Jim & Tricia Foster

To all KAA volunteers: thank you. Your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Each hour you’ve given has played a crucial role in creating positive change, and we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support. It’s because of you Ken Anderson Alliance continues to make a lasting impact in our community.
