 We are excited to announce our July Volunteer in the Spotlight, Andy Hershey. Andy, also known as “Doc” on the build site, has been volunteering with us for 8 years. He is a member of our Senior Corps group, and is one of our best painters! Andy began volunteering with us through his church, and found that he really enjoyed himself and wanted to make it a regular thing. Andy says “I volunteer with York Habitat because I enjoy helping others, and it brings structure to my week and keeps me active. I enjoy the comradery on the build sites and I’ve made some really good friends. I believe that I’ve gained as much or more than I’ve given.” Thank you Andy! We don’t know what we’d do without you!
