2016 was a great year for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program . We had more than 300 active seniors that put in 40,411 hours of volunteer service in Dubuque County .
In 2017 , we are adding new volunteer opportunities . We are expanding our environmental stewardship program adding Swiss Valley Conservation Area and the food pantry is adding a summer volunteer opportunity , Summer Youth Lunch Program . ( See page 4 for details ) We also have plenty of positions that need filling : Washington Tool Library , Presentation Lantern , Unity Point Health Finely Hospital , Mercy Medical Center , Disaster Response Team for the Volunteer Reception Center , Mines of Spain , and many more .
