Branden Johnson on Tuesday wore a lot of different hats at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.
Johnson, nonprofit coalition board president, donned hard hats, cowboy hats, chef's hats and other forms of headgear as he honored local volunteers for the myriad ways in which they helped the community's nonprofit agencies.
Several hundred people attended the event at Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center at which 24 volunteers were recognized.
"I can't say enough about all of you," Johnson said. "Not just the individuals we mention by name today, but everyone who volunteers their time at any of the many agencies that help our community to run more smoothly."
"Without volunteers, Longview wouldn't be the city it is," Mayor Pro Tem John Sims said.
"I applaud all of you, and you should applaud yourselves; we're lucky to have such commitment to so many causes from so many of our residents."
