GROWING - MOST RIDES! Simone has been driving for FIAG for just over a year and is hooked! "Driving for FIAG is fulfilling, rewarding and enjoyable all at the same time. Fulfilling, because I am doing something worthwhile by helping others. Rewarding, because it's better to give than receive. Enjoyable because I get to meet lovely and interesting people who are so sweet and appreciative for the help. They make volunteering easy, driving seniors is truly a blessing to me to give back to the Georgetown community and I am happy to be a part of the volunteer team at Faith In Action." Thank you Simone! We are so happy to have you on our team!!
GIVING - Irene is many things to many people, but for Faith in Action, she was chosen as the Volunteer who Gives Back to the Community by assisting FIAG with other services & projects. Irene is one of our Client Intake Coordinators, Office Volunteers, Drivers, Co-Instructor for the 'A Matter of Balance' classes and the person we send out when someone needs a mobility check! As a retired Nurse, Irene also stays busy by being a Missionary that provides assistance for several clinics in Africa well as in Houston. Thank you Irene for the time and talents you bring to Faith in Action and the communities you serve! GOING - MOST MILES Milt is a Legend in the Faith in Action Office! Not only does he provide a weekly ride to a few clients, he also loves the variety of choosing rides based on his 'free' time - 163 trips in 3 months! "It has been a pleasure driving seniors, I like to hear client stories and have developed some very strong relationships because of it. I can't think of any organization I would rather volunteer for." Thank you Milt for your years of service and servant's heart - Faith in Action is so blessed to have you! GOING THE DISTANCE! Congratulations to Volunteer Tom who was the random drawing winner for the long range drives into Austin, Cedar Park or Temple. "I decided to drive patients with out-of-town medical appointments, thinking that there would be fewer volunteers who could do that. I had a number of cancer patients and victims in my family and I had gained an appreciation for those who for medical reasons or family circumstances couldn’t drive themselves to their treatments." Tom, thank so much for all you do to help fill those sometime difficult rides! We are so thankful your neighbor Dee suggested we would be a good fit for your volunteering! NEW DRIVER'S PACESETTER AWARD! This award goes to a NEW Volunteer driver that has set a pace that makes our heads spin and our hearts beat! Thank you Sharon Fowler for completing 20 rides in your first 3 months! "As a retired Nurse, I get tremendous satisfaction in helping others." YOU ROCK Sharon, Thank you for joining the Faith in Action Driving Force! |
