HCC is honored to recognize John as our April Volunteer of the Month! His dedication, generosity, and passion for serving others have made a lasting impact on our community. John and his family moved to Arizona from Portland, Oregon, making the Phoenix Valley their home. With an impressive 35-year career in finance, John dedicated his expertise to helping others—even in retirement. After working part-time for a foster care organization in accounting and purchasing, he decided to fully retire. But John’s heart for service didn’t stop there.

In 2022, after hearing about HCC from his good friend Dan, a dedicated volunteer, John joined our team at the West Phoenix location. From day one, he has been an incredible asset to our mission.

Whether he’s restocking shelves, assisting clients as they shop, or helping them load groceries into their vehicles, John serves with kindness and care. His reliability and willingness to help make a meaningful difference in the lives of everyone who walks through our doors.

When asked what he finds most rewarding about volunteering at HCC, John shared, “The wonderful staff and volunteers you meet and work with to make our clients’ visits a positive experience that fulfills their needs.” He encourages anyone looking to give back to join a shift at Harvest Compassion Center and experience the welcoming atmosphere firsthand.

We are deeply grateful for his commitment to serving others.
