Carol Shadik started volunteering at the Grace Welcome Center when she realized she could help in different ways. She first brought food donations and then asked if she could help more. Even though she couldn’t lift heavy boxes, she found many other things she could do. Carol enjoys working with the friendly volunteers and wanted to help people who don’t have enough food. Volunteering at GWC makes her feel good because she’s doing something important for her community.

One of the coolest things Carol has seen is when people who come to get food start volunteering too. They want to give back and help others just like they were helped. Carol has seen many people go from getting food to becoming volunteers, which shows how much they appreciate the help. These moments show how GWC is more than just a place to get food – it’s a place where people come together to support each other. It makes Carol feel proud to be part of something so special.

The Grace Welcome Center helps the community a lot by giving food to people who need it. Carol says that having a big space like the gymnasium makes it easier to organize everything. The center is always trying to improve so they can help more people. By providing food and a friendly place, GWC helps many families and individuals who don’t have enough to eat. The work they do is really important for the community.

The Grace Welcome Center is successful because of its organized and cooperative environment. Carol says that having a big gymnasium has made things a lot easier. The volunteers work well together and make sure everything runs smoothly. The community’s support, through donations and volunteering, is also really important. Everyone working together helps GWC do a great job of helping people.
