We’ll close with a message to you from Trey, one of our long term volunteers: “If you’re really going to help, dive in with your whole heart… be sure you take the opportunity to observe the fruit of labor. Look at it, see it, enjoy it, and celebrate it because it’s inspiring and it gives not only hope, but optimism.”

 

We look forward to meeting you!
