Pat Wachter
Pat began volunteering at Harford Family House back in 2016 in our emergency shelter. She would make lunches for the residents to take for the day and help organize our food pantry. After COVID, Pat wanted to get more involved, joining our team as a part-time staff member!
Pat worked diligently for two years supporting our Marketing and Communications Department. As a staff member, she offered her passion for detail and “heart for the homeless and working poor” to help spread the word about our mission. Pat worked as an integral team member until she retired in 2023.
“Make a difference somewhere, somehow.”
For most, this would be the end of their time at an organization, but not for Pat. Pat stepped back into her role as a dedicated volunteer without missing a beat. “I am thrilled to be back volunteering.” To this day, she offers her time weekly in many capacities to serve our residents.
Pat encourages everyone should “go out and serve!” She mentions “You will learn so much about yourself and change someone’s life in the process.” We are so grateful to Pat for her contributions and service work to Harford Family House.
