Healing through Volunteerism
April is National Volunteer Month, and we've had fun showcasing the special ways our dedicated volunteers are working to help the community.  Volunteers Michelle, Barbara and Heather shared their heart connections and why they volunteer at The Christi Center. Our Peer Support Coordinator Katie Arens wrote a post about how volunteering can help you through the grief process, and how to find the right volunteer opportunity for you. And if you are interested in volunteering with us, we've updated our current volunteer needs -- is there a fit for you?
Jim Letchworth (here with wife Mali) was honored for 21 years of service with the Jimmy Shields Award
Shannon Stagner (r) was named our Volunteer of the Year. Her mom (l) was beaming!
Thank you, March Donors!

Hats Off! We celebrated our amazing volunteers this month with our annual recognition event. This year's theme was "Hats Off to Our Volunteers" and we asked volunteers to wear their favorite hat. Fun music was provided by the Austin Banjo Club--who generously donated their time. Live Oak Photobooth documented the fun--check out the gallery here (password is HAPPY).
