As we begin our new Volunteer Appreciation program, I thought it would be nice to show off a few of our wonderful volunteers that come from all walks of life and circumstance, to help us in doing our good works. We welcome people from our community, from Northern Michigan's social work programs, from the Probation Offices, Michigan and Experience Works, local organizations and many more. Each person brings different knowledge, fresh enthusiasm, and interest in what we do here, and without their willing hands, we would not be able to go as far and help as many as we do.
Hannah Doucette comes to us from Northern Michigan's social work program, learning how we interact with our community while we serve human needs. When asked why she chose to volunteer with us, she said she'd "heard so many good things about The Salvation Army, and she wanted to help her community as much as she could." Thank you, Hannah, for giving your time.
Marilyn Fortin has joined us as part of Michigan Works, building job experience and skills while she pursues permanent employment. She says "I love it here." And we're glad to have her help.
Randy Keating is working with us for Community Service, giving back to his community while learning valuable job skills. When asked about why he came to us, he said "You have better customer service then other places and I like the people I work with here."
In appreciation of these volunteers and all the valuable volunteers that come in everyday, we have awarded them an appreciation certificate for use in our Thrift Store and hope to see many more stop in to give so generously of their time and energy.
