Volunteer Champions

Volunteer Appreciation week was this time last month. We are so appreciative of all of the work our volunteers to for us on a daily basis. We have almost twice as many volunteers as we do staff and all of them do amazing work!

Our staff members at the Shelter came up with 3 special people to recognize as this year’s Volunteer Champions! These special volunteers are Deb Harding, Selina McKee, and Terri Tomlinson…below see what our staff has to say about these incredible and caring people:

“Deb Harding is one of the most thoughtful caring people I have had the pleasure to work with. She is always looking out for the children’s well being. Whether it’s just playing with a child when she comes to volunteer or planning a fun field trip, whatever the situation, Deb puts her heart and soul into everything she does.”

“Selina McKee has always gone above and beyond. She is here every Saturday with a smile on her face and a willingness to do whatever we need her to help out with. She interacts well with the kids and they are always so happy to see her. “

“Terri Tomlinson is very consistent, caring, and nurturing to all of our children. Terri has been so consistent that she has the routines down so she is able to assist the staff with a variety of chores, baths or just simply keeping the children entertained during the moments of higher need. Terri always goes above and beyond to ensure that she is utilized in the most effective way for the children and staff. We all love and appreciate her so much.”
