"Many hands make light work"

This old saying is true at the House of Blessing. We would like to commend all of the dear people who give of their time, talents, and energy to make the House of Blessing function. We literally could not do it without them.

To give an example, we have a dedicated volunteer named Roy. He is a retired farmer/lay minister who felt he could give some time to this organization. Well, what a blessing he has been! He organized our food storage room and then proceeded to learn how to distribute the food in our Food Bank. Our clients appreciate his kind words and caring attitude. Roy always comments on how much he enjoys coming to volunteer here at the House of Blessing, because he feels good about what he is doing, and also makes him feel useful. This is what blesses us; Roy is being fulfilled and so are we by having him here. Thank you Roy and all of the other great volunteers!

We are always in need of more volunteers. Whether you're a young student, right through to a retired senior, you can volunteer as much as you are able in whatever area you feel would be good for you.
