We know that April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, but we just couldn’t wait to express how much we LOVE our volunteers. Here are 10 things we love about them!
- They sacrifice time away from their families, friends, and personal lives to make sure our children never grieve alone.
- They sacrifice their money and donate so generously to our cause.
- They do the dirty work – preparing meals, cleaning dishes, sweeping, mopping, etc. – all to serve a WARM meal to our families.
- They listen. With the busyness of life, it’s rare that anyone listens to us wholeheartedly and without thinking first about how to respond. Our volunteers genuinely and empathetically listen.
- They sacrifice. It takes a lot mentally, emotionally, and physically to serve, and yet they are there.
- They are dedicated. Every two weeks they show up, for days, months, and even years to make a difference.
- They are fun! They laugh, joke, play games, and do anything they can to bring a smile to the faces of our children.
- They are loyal. They promote The WARM Place, tell people about us, and sing our praises.
- They are positive. They don’t complain, they just do what needs to be done with a good attitude.
- They care. At the end of the day, they truly have a heart for our families, and for that we are grateful.
-Maria Montes, Volunteer Coordinator
