Meet our September Volunteer of the Month, Louise! She and her husband both grew up in Los Angeles but have lived in Phoenix for over 20 years. Louise spent her career as a therapist specializing in addiction. She has two daughters who both live in Europe and love it—how fun!
Louise began volunteering at HCC North Phoenix in December 2022 after meeting a lovely lady named Melody during her walks in the neighborhood. Melody, a longtime HCC volunteer, suggested that it might be something Louise would enjoy. Louise went home, signed up for her first shift, and was hooked!
Louise mainly volunteers in our mini-marts, helping families shop for their groceries. When we asked her what she loves most about working in our food area, she said, “It is just amazing to see the incredible donations of delicious food that come in. These are items that most people shop for at the store, and seeing them on HCC’s shelves going to grateful families is so sweet.”
Louise also wanted everyone to know that if you are looking for a kind, joyful volunteer experience, sign up for your first shift at Harvest Compassion Center!
Fall volunteer shifts are available online today! Check out our new automated volunteer software, which will show you which locations and shifts need YOU!
