NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK AT FINDS:

Volunteering is pivotal to the success of non-profit organizations by making it possible to provide more services to the community. Reach Society talked to FINDS sorting volunteers to find out why they help and how they find the time.

Esther Onukwulu  – “I’m retired, so I have lots of time to volunteer and I like to give back to the community”

Jana Wachowski  – “My daughter’s in school now so it’s easy for me to be here sorting. Love to support a great cause: the help Reach gives to children with special needs is worth supporting. FINDS fills a need in the community.”

Dana  Savage – “I’m passionate about thrifting and so it’s a natural place to help out and my efforts feel very much appreciated here. I like to give back and to socialize and I get to do both here and I don’t work in the day so I can be here when my youngest is in preschool.”

Rae-Anne Schneider – “Volunteering for the free enterprise of a non-profit allows me to give back to the community in a number of ways. The reusing and recycling that goes on at FINDS is also great for the environment!”
