Tom started volunteering with Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity in 2011 with his church, First Lutheran. Since then, he's become a regular crew leader and a key member of the safety committee.
"The feeling that I can make a small difference by providing safe affordable housing is a motivation," says Tom. "Being able to work with other volunteers and future homeowners and seeing the progress that has been made each day provides a sense of fulfillment and joy. "
