Dear [Volunteer Name],

I cannot thank you enough for the incredible 40 hours you volunteered with us this quarter. Your dedication at our food pantry has directly helped feed over 200 families, and your positive attitude brings so much joy to both our team and the people we serve.

Volunteers like you are the heart and soul of our organization. You've seen firsthand the challenges our community faces and the difference our programs make in people's lives.

If you would like to make a donation, you can do so at [website]. And regardless, please know how much we appreciate everything you do.
