Volunteer Stories

“I have been going to Rahab's Sisters every Friday for the last three years, and I now cannot imagine not being connected. Besides feeling like it is my duty to serve, I feel fulfilled doing the work that is needed.”

“Rahab’s Sisters is more important today than ever by being able to meet the needs of our community members who need help and most likely do not have any other support outside of Rahab’s Sisters.”

“The acts of checking in with guests via text, calling them regularly and dropping off supplies all make me feel sane and better all-around, knowing I am providing an aspect of stability to guests during times of hardship.”

“I have felt that even the most simple and humble outreach is powerful. Even as a stranger you can call someone up and say "hey, how are you doing?" and listen. Every human being needs to feel heard and it has meant a lot to the guests that open up and share with us.”

“One of the guests that I am connected to enjoys gardening, and I've started a more robust backyard garden this year. We swap stories and give each other tips & tricks for certain flowers and veggies. We share pictures of successes and failures. I look forward to our "what's happening in your garden this week?" chats.”
