– Tom Shircliff

“To me, volunteering is about connecting with that spirit that is within me, learning to discern what my spiritual gift is to the world, using that gift by helping someone to make the connection with the spirit within themselves. It is not just about helping out someone who is less fortunate or who is in need, it is about enhancing the quality of someone else's life through the spiritual connection that we share. Each time that connection is made, I come closer to having a better understanding of who I am.”

– Camille LaGrossa

“My husband was in the North Little Rock hospice center for eight days and the people over there were so wonderful to him I just felt like I wanted to give something back. I’m enjoying helping.”
