To ensure your generous contributions of time are fully recognized, and to help the Program receive the full benefit of your efforts, please report ALL of your volunteer hours and categorize them correctly. Doing so enables the Program to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>effectively communicate to donors how we positively impact our communities, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>illustrate in our required state and federal reporting the significant value we provide in return for the tax dollars our Program receives, which helps to secure continued funding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about activities not clearly described in this Guide, please contact the Program Office at <a href=\"mailto:king.mg@wsu.edu\">king.mg@wsu.edu<\/a> for guidance. Remember, we can only record service hours for authorized WSU Master Gardener activities.
