March 2018 Hero of the Month - Jane Dodson

2/28/2018

York Habitat for Humanity has the honor of recognizing Jane Dodson as our March Volunteer in the Spotlight. Jane has been volunteering with our affiliate since 1986, the very beginning of our affiliate! You can find Jane out on our build sites, serving on our committees, mentoring our Habitat families, and volunteering in the office. When asked why she has volunteered with us all of these years she said, “In 1986 my Pastor was very involved with the incorporation of the York affiliate, and she knew then what a great organization was.” She continued on to say “Volunteering with YHFH is the most rewarding experience she has ever had.” Thank you for giving back to the York Community and for helping York Habitat families achieve their dreams of homeownership Jane!

It's a new month and you know what that means!! Time to share our February Volunteer in the Spotlight. Pat Nelson began volunteering with us on our build sites early 2016. He loved the Habitat Mission and working on the sites, but he wanted to contribute more. In 2017 he committed to sharing the Habitat Mission and scheduling over 75 volunteer spots on our Saturday build days, and succeeded! He then joined our Board of Directors and has since become the Chair Person of our Volunteer Recruitment Committee. We are grateful for his commitment to our work, as well as his heart for our Habitat Families. Thank you Pat!!
