Volunteers are our STARS MONTHLY VOLUNTEER “SPOTLIGHT”
Briefly tell us how you became involved with HFH.
I looked into different volunteer opportunities and came across Welcome One (back in the day). Went and checked it out and have been there ever since.
In what ways have you been engaged?
So, I started out as a host, and 1 night the group that was scheduled to cook dinner didn’t show. We made grilled cheese and soup, which didn’t work out well.
Where do you feel you have made the most impact?
Listening to the residents’ stories about how they got there, what they’ve been through.
Can you share a favorite moment/event/experience?
Seeing how happy the residents get when they see me and know they’re having pizza, salad, and Coca-Cola.
What is one takeaway from your experiences?
How happy they get when I serve them dinner, and how excited they are.
Why is the mission of Harford Family House important to you?
I’ve been very blessed in my life, and the fact that I’m able to give back makes me feel I’m making a positive impact on people’s lives.
