The heartbeat of Ambassadors is the continued commitment to service. Whether it be as mentors in schools, ramp builders for the disabled, or assemblers of winter kits for the homeless, you continue to amaze with your many acts of kindness each day. You are all shin-ing examples of “Citizens Wherever We Serve” and for that, we say THANK YOU!

Keep up the great work you are doing across the state. Without you, your communities and agencies could not thrive and do what they do for those in need.
