🌟 Volunteer of the Week Spotlight is Robin Murphy! 🌟
How long have you served in the Grace Care Center?
I started volunteering in October of 2013.
What area do you serve in?
I started out bagging and then became a caller once we moved to the new space, then I started doing the register about 2 years ago. I became very close with my register team, we have fun, and we have been together since the beginning! We were dubbed “The Dream Team” because we were so fast and efficient!
What keeps you coming back?
The people keep me coming back! All of the friends and faces are what my Wednesday morning is all about! We have seen each other through kids getting older and becoming empty nesters, to aging parents, health concerns, and so many other highs and lows.
How has serving in the Grace Care Center changed you?
Serving has changed me because when I started volunteering in 2013, it was in a small room where 2 carts could barely fit down an aisle, into a huge space that serves hundreds in our community weekly! During the pandemic, when people couldn’t come to the pantry, we brought the pantry to them and delivered food to our friends. Those drives showed me a side of our community I hadn’t seen, neighbors just a few miles away who were quietly going without. It changed how I think about where we live and who we’re here for. That’s what Grace Care Center is all about.
Tell us one fun fact about yourself.
I just took a family vacation to Iceland last month and it was the most magical vacation ever. I would go back every year if I could!
