Freezing Weather Doesn’t Discourage Volunteers, Families

It was a bitter February morning with a blustery wind blowing, but even the cold temperatures could not dampen the spirits of a group of volunteers from Infinity Wellness Center and eight families picking up furniture for their homes.

“Our give days always have the most bitter temperatures,” says Emily Schildt, House of Light Director of Community Involvement. “But those temperatures can’t keep our spirits from being great and our hearts warm.”

The volunteers from Infinity Wellness spent the morning organizing linens and loading furniture and filled the shelves with socks, soap and other items to be used in the blessing bags given to each family.

“We are so grateful for this group of volunteers,” says Schildt. “House of Light could never be the organization it is and serve as many families as we do without our amazing volunteers.”

Eight families were served on the February Giving Day, including 31 people and 20 kids. There were 14 beds given away.
