💜 Celebrating Our Incredible Volunteers! 💜
As we wrap up the year, we’re proud to recognize the amazing dedication of the Temecula Valley Hospital Volunteer Foundation (TVHVF) volunteers. At our recent Holiday Party at The Mexico Cafe Temecula, we continued one of our favorite traditions—awarding service hour pins to commemorate the time and heart you’ve given to our foundation.
Pins start at 100 hours and go all the way to an impressive 4,000 hours! 🎉 Every hour represents comfort, compassion, and joy for our patients and their families—whether through pet therapy visits, spiritual care, or simply being a friendly face during a difficult time.
This year, we celebrated volunteers across every milestone:
✨ 100 Hours: Liz Barclay, Rick Barrera, Stef Becerra, Ellen Ender, David Samy, Steve Gossett, Navaeh Gray, Linda Greer, Josie Guerra, Herminia Mendoza, Shelby Middleton, Nancy Obenberger, Lynne Peterson, Natalia Salciccia, Violet Williams
✨ 300 Hours: Maureen Bodine, Diane Brotea, Stephanie Cannon, Terri Gorman, Amanda Gromko, Ana Mayen, Aidan Mole, Steffani Natter, Sonia Parande, Ashley Robertson, Sherri Warren
