HOUMA — MacDonnell Children’s Home is seeking nominations for the 25th annual Volunteer Activist Awards, presented to outstanding volunteers in Terrebonne, Lafourche and St.
Mary parishes. These awards honor people who have given extraordinary volunteer service for the betterment of their communities. Winners will be publicly recognized at the Volunteer Activist Gala, which will include a gourmet meal, live music, a silent auction and brief awards program. MacDonnell Children’s Services provides complete residential care for children who have been abused or neglected. Ten finalists will be selected by a panel of judges. All of these finalists will be awarded plaques at the gala and a check made payable to a charity of their choice. Danielle Robinson encourages people to submit their nominations before the May 8 deadline.
“There’s so many people out there doing amazing things,” said Robinson, vice president for resource development at MacDonnell, and the event’s coordinator.
