Volunteer Spotlight.

“My name is Aya Vitello and I am a stay at home mom of a 4 year old. I volunteered with PRSG to help with the #SeeNoStranger housing initiative. Every Monday, I deliver food boxes provided by the food pantry to refugee families who recently arrived in Oregon. One feeling I can name when reflecting on my experience is absolute joy!”

“

My name is Kirsten Burt. I'm a mom who works for a translation company, and a long-time PRSG volunteer. I helped a family from Venezuela move into their new apartment as part of the #SeeNoStranger housing initiative, and then helped them find furniture. It was an easy way to help, and I felt a real connection with this young family. A week later, they invited me to their wedding!
