Volunteer of the Year!

We couldn't do the work we do for the community without our amazing volunteers! This year we are honoring Lani Fischer as our Volunteer of the Year.

Nearly two years ago, Lani reached out to see if she could volunteer at Church Community Services for a few hours every couple weeks. She was already familiar with the purpose of our Seed to Feed program, as she was, and is, an active participant in the Seed to Feed garden at River Oaks Community Church. Little did she know she would soon find herself spending several days each week at Church Community Services, and become an integral support to our Seed to Feed and Food Pantry programs! As a member of River Oaks, she also acts as the CCS advocate for their Local Compassion Committee, sharing information about the needs Church Community Services has to see if there are ways the church can help.

Gabby Parrish, Seed to Feed Director, says, "I can't say enough good things about Lani. Lani demonstrates humility, service, and kindness in all that she does. Whether it is handing out boxes at the food pantry, running for deliveries, organizing seeds, washing and bagging produce, planting in the greenhouse, giving direction to pantry guests and volunteers, or just being a listening ear on a stressful day, she does it all with the grace and love of Jesus Christ. CCS is a better place because of her and I am so thankful for her hard work and friendship."
