Volunteering in community events & orginazations

I am a member of the greeting/serve team at Our Savior"s Church in Broussard. We have been involved in the Love Our Schools serve event for many years. Many of the schools in our community can use a quite a bit of sprucing up. We carry out a lot of needed maintenance, for instance pressure washing, painting, landscaping, and so much more! 

I also am involved in the Acadiana area Department of Child and Family Services Foster Care system. My oldest daughter was adopted through the foster care system. I volunteer at various family events in the area put on by DCFS & other local organizations.
