By The Charlotte News

Hundreds of Charlotters volunteer in many different capacities for a diverse range of organizations in town and beyond. We all benefit from their generosity, which helps make the town of Charlotte a healthier and more vibrant community.

Volunteers prepare and serve lunches at the Senior Center, give their time and expertise to the Charlotte Land Trust, the Food Shelf and the Grange, and respond to emergency calls that come into Fire and Rescue. They shovel snow for neighbors, bring meals to friends who are sick, chop vegetables in the CCS kitchen, write for The Charlotte News, and much more besides.

Below, we want to recognize and thank a special group of volunteers – those who serve on town boards, commissions and committees, and at town organizations. Your selfless contributions make a huge difference here in Charlotte. Thank you. Thanks also to Dean Bloch for supplying The News with this list.
