I was new to the area, and I didn’t know anybody. A friend of mine suggested I try volunteering as a way of getting to know people.

“The customers are all so nice and lots of people come in for a chat throughout the day. You get to know the regulars. I just love the social side of it, both with the customers and other volunteers. We all really get along here, and we always have a laugh.”
