Why I Volunteer
I was nervous about starting volunteering at the shelter but once I started I saw all that the shelter does for people, I see how hard everyone works to keep everything flowing, and I want to give to the community that I live in. I look forward to the positive atmosphere that everyone creates and look forward to continuing volunteering and helping contribute to the shelter.

I enjoy working with the staff, guests, and the public who come in and on the phone. I always feel as I have been productive when I leave my shift and am always made to feel that I am needed, valued, and have made a difference.
