💛 Volunteer Spotlight 💛
For the past year and a half, Virginia Tech students Mily Baxter and Allie Barksdale have faithfully spent their Friday afternoons at Showalter Center painting nails, sharing stories, and building meaningful friendships with our residents.
“I went to the head of the sociology department at VT to get my class moved so I could come to our weekly manicures,” Mily shared.
“The memories I have made at Warm Hearth are lifelong and I’ll cherish them forever,” added Allie.
Their commitment, kindness, and heart for service remind us what community is all about. We are so grateful for these two incredible volunteers. 💛
