Volunteer Testimonials

LiftUp staff and volunteerDiane Holly, volunteer since 2019 (pictured with Donation Center Manager Chynna Wallace) – “I’m retired from ranching and LiftUp is my social club. There are so many great staff and volunteers working together to help the community. I’m the ultimate sorter and organizer, so the Donation Center is perfect for me. I’m their toy person since I have 4 grandchildren! I also volunteer in the Thrift Store to help with all the great things the community donates.”

 

 

LiftUp staff and volunteersJackie Thornberry, volunteer since 2018 (pictured with Food Bank Manager Brian Benally) – “I love interacting with the clients in the Food Bank and Thrift Store. I love the close relationship of the staff and volunteers. I see big changes each time I visit, and they are always changes for the better. When you volunteer, you feel better, it blesses you!”
