What is your role at Love Stanislaus County?
I am blessed to serve as the Love Our Kids Director. I work to locate donors in our community who can help supply items for families affected by foster care and then deliver those items to their homes. Additionally, I am always working to network, educate and coordinate volunteer opportunities for our program throughout the year.
What do you love the most about your job?
I love connecting those who desire to give in our community to those who are in need. I love knowing that we are helping kids and caregivers in practical ways by meeting their daily needs like assuring a child has a bed to sleep in or a dresser to put their clothes in.
What do you love most about living in Stanislaus County?
I was born and raised in Stanislaus County. This is my home. This is where my family lives. I love how people care for our community and desire to serve here. We not only have a lot of amazing nonprofit organizations but we have people that desire to collaborate with others in the community in order to be the most effective.
In what ways do you participate in the community?
I serve at my church and love to volunteer when I can at my kids’ schools.
