Local United Way accepts nominations for Governor's Volunteer Service Award

 Nominations are now being accepted for the 2023 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award.

The awards program, created by the Office of the Governor in 1979, recognizes North Carolina’s most dedicated volunteers. Through the years, the award has been bestowed on thousands of North Carolinians who have shown concern and compassion for their neighbors by volunteering in their local community.

Each county selects up to ten individuals, businesses, groups/teams and one paid Director of Volunteers to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to their communities. One of the nominees will be nominated for the Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service, which is awarded to approximately the top 20 volunteers in the state. A local committee evaluates the nominations. 

Please contact Kristie Hege, at the United Way of Davidson County for nomination forms, (336) 249-2532. 

Completed forms should be returned to Kristie Hege at the United Way of Davidson County, 11 Court Square, Suite 100, Lexington NC no later than January 31, 2023.
