BLOG
We spoke with two Mission Health employees at the Asheville High School Community Night and asked them about their reasoning for volunteering. Patrick Kenny is a prosthetist at Mission. When asked about his reasoning for volunteering, he said, “I just felt like it was an opportunity to give back to the community in something that reflected what I could contribute and my skill set. ”
At any Community Night, students may ask for help with homework ranging from English to math and science, and there are volunteer hands needed to check in students and serve food. UWABC also emphasizes volunteers making authentic connections with students by sitting at the table and eating together.
These connections are precisely what Sara Lewis-Wallace of Mission Health likes to see. “I’m always looking for ways for our colleagues to make the connections to organizations like United Way,” she says, “I know there are so many Community Nights happening across the county, and I thought this one at Asheville High would be a great place to start because it’s right across the street from us!”
