In honor of National Volunteer Week, the Franklin Volunteer Network (FVN) wishes to thank all community volunteers for their dedication and hours of service.

FVN is a collaborative of volunteers, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and businesses who promote, educate and support volunteers and volunteer managers in Greater Franklin County. In 2014 52,937 volunteer hours were served by more than 1,899 volunteers, totaling $1,064,034 (based on 2014 Independent Sector Value of Volunteer Hour Maine rate of $20.10). THANK YOU, from all of us, for dedicating so much of your time and love to our community, making it one of the best places to live!
