Hide your dishes and organize your closets...it's time to highlight our June volunteer—one of our newer, yet incredibly mighty, volunteers, Marsha! ❤️
There isn't a position around here that scares her. Most days, you'll find her hard at work in our Clothing Pantry, whether she's organizing donations behind the scenes, helping serve our clients during pantry hours, or tackling dishes alongside another amazing volunteer, Pat. Together, they're our Women Wednesday Powerhouses! 💪✨
Since joining us in November as a fill-in volunteer, Marsha quickly became one of those volunteers we could count on for just about anything. She jumped in wherever help was needed, never shying away from a new task or an unfamiliar role.
No task is too big, no shift is too early, and no challenge is too much...even on one foot! Earlier this year, she broke her foot and spent weeks in a boot. Most people would have taken that as a sign to slow down, but not Marsha. 🤦🏻♀️
After repeatedly catching her trying to make her way into the dish room on one foot, we finally had to relocate her to volunteer sign-in for her own safety. Besides, her kids love to call her a "boomer," so we figured putting her behind a computer would really put that title to the test.
Her biggest concern wasn't her foot—it was making sure no one took her dishwashing spot! She repeatedly reminded our Volunteer Coordinator that as soon as that boot came off, she'd be right back beside Pat on Wednesday mornings.
And true to her word, that's exactly what she did, headed straight to the dish room to reclaim her spot next to Pat. 😂❤️
You can usually hear Marsha before you see her! Her excitement for volunteering carries throughout the building, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She shows up with a smile and a positive attitude every time she walks through our doors.
Marsha, thank you for your willingness to serve, your incredible energy, and the heart you bring to LAHIA each week. We are so grateful to have you as part of our volunteer family and can't wait to see all the lives you'll continue to impact.
Thank you for all you do! ❤️
