April is Volunteer Appreciation Month!

Paint Tacoma volunteer team from Immanuel Presbyterian Church with homeowner (2015)

Volunteers.  Associated Ministries is grateful for the thousands of hours that our volunteer each year to help with programs such as Paint Tacoma-Pierce Beautiful, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Pierce County Hunger Walk to name just a few.  Through their dedication to strengthening our community and giving of their time and talents, we have been able to paint nearly 2,200 homes of low-income homeowners, help thousands of people file their taxes, and for 35 years help organize and run an event to raise money for hunger relief.

“PLU on the Road”, volunteer paint crew (2015)

Volunteers.  They are an invaluable part of what we do and we appreciate each and every one who has been able to give of their time, whether for an hour or 600 hours during a year.  Their passion and willingness to join us to unite people of faith and goodwill in the effort to make life better and perhaps easier for those in need, is a cherished gift.

Volunteers.  We could not do what we do without them and we say thank you!
