This month, we are proud to shine a well-deserved spotlight on Sandy Lavin, a volunteer whose dedication and kindness make a lasting impact every single day.

Sandy plays a vital role behind the scenes in Margaret’s Room, where her organization and attention to detail help ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently for both volunteers and our unhouse clients. Thanks to Sandy, items are exactly where they need to be, allowing our team to serve families with ease and care.

Her reliability is truly unmatched. When a volunteer is unable to make their shift, Sandy is often the first to step up and say, “I’ve got it.” Her willingness to fill in wherever needed reflects her deep commitment to our mission and to the people we serve.

What makes Sandy especially remarkable is the thoughtful way she supports her fellow volunteers. She remembers the small things people share like a preference, a need, or a passing comment, and does what she can to follow up or lend a hand. It’s this quiet kindness and genuine attentiveness that create such a welcoming and supportive environment.

Volunteers genuinely look forward to working alongside Sandy, and we are incredibly grateful for the steady, positive presence she brings to our community.
