GET INVOLVED

Thank You! 

 Community Resources and Hanover County would like to thank our community partners and individual residents who have been sharing their time, talents and kindness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of your gifts of generosity have been informal neighbors helping neighbors or  donating to efforts, supporting local businesses and sharing gratitude for front line medical or emergency personnel.

Others have answered our volunteer recruitment to  provide support for community based initiatives such as our  Meal Kit distributions,  community testing events, blood donations, medical reserve corps and senior food deliveries.

Thank you for being the bright light during challenging times.
