The Volunteer Spotlight is here to honor those who have gone above and beyond for Habitat for Humanity-Greater Columbus! “Thank you” to each and every individual and group listed below for your amazing dedication and support of Habitat for Humanity-Greater Columbus. We are a better organization because of you!
Sam Werk has been volunteering with HFHGC since October of 2009. Sam started out his volunteer career with us on a construction site, and then quickly became involved with Habitat's ReStore. Sam made a huge commitment to volunteering in the ReStore by devoting nearly every Monday to be our Donation Pick-Up Helper. Donation Pick-Up Helpers are crucial to Habitat's ReStore, because without them Habitat would miss out on many important donations. The ReStore is thankful that we can rely on Sam's help with larger donation projects and special volunteer events. For example, Sam filled the role of Volunteer Leader for our Martin Luther King weekend of service in January. Now a very familiar face in the ReStore, Sam has volunteered over 270 hours since he got started less than ten months ago.
A recent graduate of The Ohio State University, Sam stays busy outside of Habitat teaching drumming lessons to members of the Columbus community. His passion and raw talent for drumming is taking him to Chicago at the end of August to broaden his horizons and further explore the wonders of music our world has to offer.
HFHGC is blessed to have been able to count on Sam for many of our crucial volunteer needs. He has helped the ReStore drastically improve the Donation Pick-Up program and his soft spoken, giving spirit will be missed. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Sam, you have made a greater difference than you know!
Jane DeMuth joined us as a volunteer in September of 2009, where she began her transformation of the ReStore. Jane has spent over 375 hours in the ReStore since then, organizing her way through some of our most problematic departments. After being appointed manager of the lighting department, Jane soon became our master of organization and didn't stop with chandeliers. Jane has truly found her niche, creating a number of improvements to the way in which we maintain our endless donations of hardware. Jane is so involved with her work in the ReStore, that she has been known to take it home with her! Developing new methods of separating all of the tiny pieces of hardware, Jane has invented her own displays for this formerly troublesome department.
Outside of HFHGC, Jane enjoys yoga as a form of exercise and relaxation. Jane has also spent years in the grooming business. Members of the HFHGC staff can attest to Jane's trimming talents, as we love visiting her at home pet boutique with our furry friends. Among all of her pastimes, however, there is no question that Jane's absolute favorite is being "World's Best Grandma!"
Habitat is so lucky to have Jane as part of our crew, and our ReStore would be far from complete without her. One of our finest representatives of HFHGC to hit the ReStore floor, Jane always brings the most positive attitude to share with our volunteers, donors, shoppers and staff. Thank you, Jane, for being such an exceptional volunteer!
