Our House staff since February 23, 2011
I manage the donations that
come into the shelter. I solicit
needed items for our programs
and maintain the relationship
with My Favorite Thrift Store,
which benefits Our House.
Finding time to do paperwork.
It’s easy to forget when you are
constantly talking to new donors,
picking up needed donations, &
soliciting more stuff!
People donate strange things
sometimes, like used underwear
& broken toys. If you would not
give it to your family, chances
are neither would we!
It makes me appreciate everything that has been given to me.
I love seeing the men & women
dressed professionally on their
way to work. It is our number
one goal to get people working.
I love seeing the enthusiasm in
a newly employed adult when
they come back to Our House
telling everyone, “Hey, I got the
job today!”
When I was 16, I worked at the
Memphis Zoo as a camp counselor for the summer program.
I love riding my bike on the
River Trail, going to the movies
at the Tandy 10, & hanging out
with my friends.

stood up for what he believed in
despite of the obstacles he went
through every day.
