Credit Restoration Consultants - a credit service organization specializing in the restoration of consumer credit worthiness and identity theft - has a long proud history of volunteer service. Our volunteers are working to meet the needs of their neighborhoods and the community by participating as committee members or volunteers in the Weston Relay for Life, an American Cancer Society event, as well as with the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation.
In recognition of these outstanding achievements, Credit Restoration Consultants is proud to announce the availability of the President's Volunteer Service Award, a prestigious national honor offered in recognition of volunteer commitment. Established in 2003, this new Award is given by the President of the United States and honors individuals, families and groups who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service over the course of 12 months.
Credit Restoration Consultants has teamed with hundreds of organizations and businesses across the country to deliver this Award to our most outstanding volunteers. As a Certifying Organization of the President's Volunteer Service Award, we can nominate potential recipients and distribute the Award to those who meet or exceed the Award criteria.
"Credit Restoration Consultants is extremely proud to join the President of the United States in recognizing the volunteers who consistently take the time to make a difference in the lives of others," said William E. Lewis, Jr., president of Credit Restoration Consultants "Volunteers strengthen America and inspire others to get involved. We are proud to honor our volunteers who are answering the call with this Award."
Children, adults, families and groups can receive the Award and, given their ongoing service activity, many of our volunteers may already meet the requirements (see sidebar). To qualify for the President's Volunteer Service Award, volunteers simply submit a record of their service hours to Credit Restoration Consultants (under organization number JQZ-25158) and we will verify the service and deliver the Award.
Volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of Credit Restoration Consultants, the Weston Relay for Life, or the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the necessary hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new Award each year.
"Our volunteers should strive to earn the President's Volunteer Service Award every year," said William E. Lewis, Jr. "Even if you've never volunteered before, the Award is within your reach. In fact, the strength and success of our nation depends on every one of us taking an active role in the community where we live. You can also help strengthen America by asking your friends, families and neighbors to join you in helping your community. Most people say ‘yes' if asked to volunteer - all it takes is a personal request."
The President's Volunteer Service Award is issued by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation - created by President George W. Bush to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers make to our nation.
