😊❤ A fantastic and productive Voices for National Service Capitol Hill Day in Washington, D.C.!

We had the privilege of connecting with Congressional staff members from the offices of Senator Jim Justice, Senator Shelley Moore Capito, and Congresswoman Carol Miller to discuss the impact of National Service programs in West Virginia.

Special thanks to Voices for National Service for organizing these visits and bringing us together. It was an honor working alongside Kerrigan Boyd from America Learns, Amon Couch from Partners for Rural Impact, and Tom Branen from Lead For America.

☺️🩷 Thank you for your LifeBridge AmeriCorps Program service Debbie - we are so proud of you!

There are a few more Sweet Charity posts to come, because how could there not be? But I need to interrupt the flow today to address another big moment in the life of Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley.

Debbie Wolf has been our LifeBridge AmeriCorps Program volunteer onsite for two years. In that time, she's learned so much about our program, our volunteers, our care receivers, and the Faith in Action way.

The older neighbors we serve have come to view her as a trusted voice on the other end of the phone. Someone who can reassure them, redirect them, listen to them, connect with them.

Morgan and I have come to view her as a nearly indispensable third leg to our table, holding down the fort when we aren't here, handling assigned tasks efficiently, and generally taking care of business in ways that freed us up to grow.

Tomorrow will be her last day with us, as her term expires.

It's going to be bittersweet, to say the least.

Thank you, Debbie, for caring for our people with your whole heart and for always wanting the best for this organization. Morgan and I will miss you, as will all those you served in your time here.

We are grateful our paths crossed and wish you all good things in your next chapter.

With love and gratitude - Jennifer & Morgan
