The Times celebrates Waltham’s unsung heroes for National Volunteer Week

Waltham hums with volunteers who quietly give their time and talent to the city’s 473 registered nonprofit organizations, a mix of religious entities, foundations, scholarship funds, community groups, arts and culture organizations, healthcare providers and more.

The Waltham Times, which counts itself among those 473 nonprofits, also benefits from enthusiastic volunteers and recognizes their positive impact on the city. 

So for National Volunteer Week, April 19-25, The Waltham Times is initiating a series of monthly articles to highlight volunteers who are standouts for their organizations yet rarely receive public acknowledgments. The first profile can be seen here.

Join us in celebrating Waltham’s unsung volunteer heroes, who are listed in alphabetical order:

• Colleen Brennan, The Waltham Times
• David Digregorio Sr., REACH Beyond Domestic Violence
• Janet Driscoll, Waltham Museum
• Caroline Grossman, The Waltham Times
• Lynn Hallen, Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation
• Maureen Asiimwe Kalembe, Uganda Boston Community Association
• Nathan Merrin, REACH Beyond Domestic Violence
• Alex Nicholl, Healthy Waltham
• Cath Ronan, Healthy Waltham
• Emily Szczypek, Waltham Land Trust

For individuals interested in learning more about opportunities to give back to the community, The Waltham Times regularly publishes a list of groups seeking volunteers.
