Our awesome volunteers are the heart of our store and what makes Second Impressions a huge success! While the ages of our volunteers vary, one thing that they all have in common is their dedication to Christian Education.
Dave usually serves as a Tuesday Cashier. Here are his comments: “I am a person who normally might have a lot of “alone time”, I love volunteering because I get to interact with lots of people, including customers and other volunteers. As a Cashier, I meet lots of people, all with different personalities, I like to treat each as a unique individual with value. I try to make them feel welcome, worthy and appreciated. I ‘m a former graduate of the Kalamazoo Christian Schools, plus a parent of 4 graduates and I have had many years of teaching in the KCSA system. I love that the profits are used to ease the tuition burden for lots of families to provide a positive impact on their children’s lives.”
Karen serves as a Tuesday cashier and also works in our Craft Dept. Here are her comments: “I feel that God has called me to be a good steward of my time and talents. That is why I volunteer at Second Impressions. My time volunteering benefits Christian Education for students who will become our future leaders, impacting the many communities that they will end up serving. It benefits OUR greater Kalamazoo Community by recycling quality items and I also benefit because I get to work with fantastic people. The friendships made and the camaraderie is priceless.”
Marc, Lead Administer at Kalamazoo Christian School, and his wife Lisa enjoy volunteering at Second Impressions because it’s always an adventure! You meet great people, discover interesting items, and you can always find a good book to read. We especially enjoy volunteering during the Christmas season and helping with other special projects throughout the year. It’s rewarding to know that our time and efforts are helping support the students and families of the school. It’s a wonderful place to volunteer. We’re happy to give our time and be part of the Second Impressions family!
