Guardians for Good Award

Guardians for Good is a community that is open to anyone who supports HelpLine through sponsorship, service or social activism within our eight-county service territory.

By leveraging our passion, intellectual and financial resources, we bring about change through the power of community. Guardians for Good derives its strength from integrating the expertise and energy of its members. Ultimately, Guardians will contribute to the overall financial health and wealth of HelpLine that could otherwise not be achieved; helping ensure that the organization remains viable and sustainable today and tomorrow.

The Guardians for Good Award is presented annually to an individual or organization within the HelpLine service territory that has demonstrated superior advocacy, sponsorship, and support, and exemplifies HelpLine values that propel the organization toward achieving its mission/vision.
