Come to the next IHELP meeting and get to know volunteers from other communities.  Get your questions answered and give us your input.  The IHELP meeting will be held at Grace Community Church at 5:30PM in the Dorsey Center.  We will meet and eat with IHELP guests.

Do you ever wonder how IHELP guests feel about all the work that is put into doing a meal, or hosting IHELP guests.  Below is a poem that articulates very well the appreciation of one particular IHELP guest. TCAA could not have said how we feel about our community partnerships any better.  Thanks for all you do!! 

 

VOLUNTEER

 

You give of your heart,

Your soul and yourself.

Never seeking return,

from those you help.

 

The cooking the cleaning,

to most just a chore.

Yet you do and do,

and then do more.

 

The talks, the hugs,

the encouraging smiles,

That lighten the load,

if for only awhile.

 

Helping the souls,

downtrodden and blue,

To see that life,

can start anew.

 

So, with all my heart,

I would like to say,

Thank you to all,

for each and every day!!
