Ron, Volunteer Advisory Council Member

In his 3rd year of volunteering for SVSS, Ron has enthusiastically jumped on board. He began as a Volunteer Driver, taking Clients to medical appointments. He also became a Companion Visitor, support a Client who was alone.

With the start of COVID Ron switched roles in two ways: weekly delivering the Prepared Meals to 10 clients and sitting on our Volunteer Advisory Council – a group of volunteers who meet with staff every month to give feedback and insight into improving SVSS programs and services.

We couldn’t do what we do without a strong, multi-talented supporter like Ron.
