May Volunteer Newsletter

Hello Volunteers,


It's been a pleasure to meet some of you over the past couple weeks as I have been learning my new role as the Community and Volunteer Engagement Manager for Christ House. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers like you have chosen to support Christ House through their service, and it's an honor to participate in this growing community. If you have any questions about volunteering or donating gifts in-kind to Christ House, please reach out anytime; my new email address is benny.mattis@christhouse.org.

With gratitude,

Benny Mattis

Community and Volunteer Engagement Manager
