The cost of volunteerism: Nonprofits talk the value in people
Herald Democrat
One Grayson County office had 337 volunteers who together put in 16,000 hours which would equate to about $444,000 worth of labor for projects in the community in 2020. Another local organization said in fiscal year 2020, that organization received 4,370 volunteer hours which equated to about $96,140 worth of services. And another said in the last 12 months, 4,015.3 service hours were donated by volunteers. That means that during a year when people were most worried about health, pay checks and maintaining lifestyle norms, many people were concerned about ways to make sure this community was alive and well.

Comal County Commissioners will consider two more change orders for Annex renovations and revising the countyâs agreement with the designer of downtown renovations during their weekly meeting Thursday.
The eighth and ninth change order for the Annex Building Renovation Project, covering interior and exterior changes, will total $213,337, split between the county ($148,262) and contractor SpawGlass Contractors ($65,075).Â
Combined, both will increase the cost of Annex renovations to $11.930 million but not add construction days, which after Februaryâs freeze extended the substantial completion date from July 2 to July 12.
Commissioners will also consider amending its 2017 contract with renovation designer HDR Architecture, Inc. for Annex services. It will set future case work revisions to a lump-sum payment of $12,885, with HDR not subject to payment for additional days spent on the project.
