Over the last year, employees from B.F. Saul Company Hospitality Group have been enthusiastically volunteering with residents of the Hunters Woods Fellowship House, engaging with both residents and staff. Together, they participated in the Easter Brunch Social and regularly help out with the Fellowship Fresh Food Distribution at Hunters Woods. This month, we sat down with Soo Kim, assistant general manager for B.F. Saul, to find out more about the company’s important investment of time in Fellowship Square.
Q: What has inspired BF Saul to volunteer with Fellowship Square?
A: We are in the hospitality business, where it’s all about creating new connections and people taking care of people. We welcomed this opportunity to give back to our community through volunteering our time and efforts and to meet new people with diverse background and life experiences. It helps us view life through a different lens.
Q: What has been your favorite part of being a volunteer?
A: We really enjoy meeting new people and love seeing that our small gestures bring them joy. That, in turn, helps us become better versions of our selves. Our experience with Fellowship Square has helped us develop new skills, improve leadership, and build team work. We also love working with Service Coordinator Jane Kung – she has made this experience more enjoyable!
Q: How did you hear about Fellowship Square?
A: On www.justserve.org: We spent a few hours comparing different organizations, and we wanted to ensure that we partnered with one that shares the same values. That led us to Fellowship Square!
Q: What do you hope to gain from volunteering?
A: More compassion and a deeper understanding by creating new connections with the residents and leaders of the Hunters Woods Fellowship House. Our goal is to brighten someone’s day by being present, listening having conversations. We feel fortunate that we have been given the opportunity to connect with residents and gain a sense of purpose through small gestures of kindness.
