Rewards coupons for hours worked in the month of May were mailed on Wednesday, June 2. 

Please note that the volunteer rewards are like cash. They are not replaceable if lost or stolen. Also, once they expire, they cannot be reissued or extended. Please do not ask for a replacement or an extension. They are good for use for six months. Please check the dates on the rewards carefully and always use the oldest coupons first.
