Bo's Place

where hearts are healed.

Volunteer Appreciation Event 2025

Bo’s Place kicked off volunteer Appreciation Month with our annual Appreciation Event on Saturday, April 5th. The building was filled with over 100 people. Everywhere you looked, people were in conversation and community with one another. The Over the Hill Gang cook team grilled all day and made a fabulous BBQ meal! Volunteers left the event with a special 35th Anniversary umbrella. Thank you to ALL of our volunteers who attended, and a special congratulations to those who joined the 10 years of service wall: Tracey Blumrosen, Lynn Nwadei, and Gwendolyn Blount.
