This July 4th, we are reflecting on the power of community and celebrating 250 years of non-profit service in the U.S.

For generations, nonprofits, community organizations, volunteers, donors, and neighbors have come together to support one another and strengthen the places we call home. At Metropolitan Family Service, we are honored to be part of that work over the last 75 years.

Every day, alongside our staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters, we help families access the resources, opportunities, and connections they want and need to move forward.

Thank you for helping us build a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Some stories stop you in your tracks. 🚐💛

Deann started volunteering with Ride Connection — one of our partners at MFS Project Linkage — after they helped her own parents get to medical appointments. Now she's behind the wheel, giving that same gift to others.

"They have amazing stories," she says of the riders she meets. And clearly, so does she.

This National Volunteer Month, we're grateful for people like Deann — and for partners like Ride Connection who make sure our neighbors can get where they need to go.

Meet Deann 💚🚐

After retiring from a career as a software engineer, Deann decided it was time to give back. Ride Connection had helped her parents get to medical appointments when she couldn’t leave work, and after losing her sister and later her parents, volunteering felt like a meaningful way to honor them.

Now a year into driving a ProjectLinkage van, Deann volunteers about 10 hours a month. She loves when riders sit up front so they can chat. “They have amazing stories,” she says.

One recent rider’s smile reminded her of the way her own mom used to light up when she saw her - a full-circle moment she’ll never forget.

Inspired by Deann? We’re always looking for more volunteer drivers. Even one day a month makes a huge difference. Sign up here to get started. 💚 https://rideconnection.org/get-involved/volunteer/

This National Volunteer Month, we're celebrating the people who make Experience Corps possible — our tutors. 📚

They're not just helping kids read. They're making sure students are seen, supported, and set up to succeed.

To our tutors: thank you for showing up. What you do matters more than words can say.

It's wonderful to hear about the difference our tutors make in the lives of their students.
