Meet Lisa, a volunteer at Orange Sky, sharing their journey as part of our ‘Share Your Story’ series.
Joining the Orange Sky Family
“I love being a part of the Orange Sky family. I have volunteered for the last 3 years, and having the opportunity to provide a service as simple as clean clothes is amazing. Our friends are so grateful to be able to have clean clothes.”
Understanding the Importance of Clean Clothes
“Until you are in this position that we are as vollies, I don’t think you understand how important a set of clean clothes is. We just take it for granted that we can get up every day and have clean clothes.”
Connecting with the Community
“The best part of my days volunteering is connecting with our friends, having a chat and a laugh, and making connections. Also, connecting with our service provider volunteers who also have a beautiful heart of service to this community. It is also great to see our friends find work or get a roof over their heads.”
Encouragement to Future Volunteers
“If you are reading this and have been thinking of volunteering, then do it! You won’t regret it. This very easy and simple act of service can really make a big difference in someone’s life.”
