She found this in the Franciscan Outreach and became a volunteer at the shelter on W. Harrison in November 2016, later joining YBP in 2017 to continue to support the organization’s mission.

“Privileged are we who have the opportunity to humbly serve our community, to make a positive impact, and to ensure that others have access to the basic necessities we so often take for granted. Being a part of the Franciscan Outreach is to know that each of our small gestures and work can help to transform someone’s life and our community overall.”
