Spotlight on JW House Volunteer:

Meet Bev

Each month we will feature a different volunteer at JW House. This month we feature Bev, our dedicated data entry volunteer. 

Seek and you shall find! Shortly after my youngest child left for college I began searching for a volunteer opportunity that would allow me to improve my computer skills in a friendly, home-like environment. I saw a posting for JW House on Craigslist: a seemingly perfect match for my background and interests. My professional training is in Speech Pathology and I enjoy working in a medical setting. During my lengthy stint as a full-time Mom and household manager I have consistently done extensive volunteer work because I believe in giving back to worthwhile causes. JW House combines those passions. It was love at first sight, and our relationship continues to prosper.

While my ultimate goal is to transition back into the working world, for now I am thrilled to be doing JW's database entry. I enjoy the delightful company of Jill and April as I am tucked away in the office with the computer.

In my leisure time I enjoy yoga, learning piano as an adult, and am starting to play bridge. I also love food and wine, am an adventurous cook and love to bake: the aromas wafting through JW House certainly satisfy the foodie in me. I am grateful for the experience and pleased to be a part of such a loyal and giving group of volunteers.
