"My mom volunteered and I wanted to carry on her legacy after she passed away. A friend reached out to say the hospital was looking for volunteers, so I joined the Afternoon Auxiliary. I enjoy meeting new people at my weekly shift at the Gift Shop!"
"My dad died at an early age, leaving my mom to raise 6 kids with limited resources. I witnessed her generosity and kindness to others in need, and I wanted to give back as I saw her do. I have volunteered in the hospital Gift Shop for over 19 years!"
