Kaposia Organization
This group of volunteers from the Kaposia Organization has been volunteering with the Housekeeping Department at People Serving People since 2012. Led by Kaposia staff Jenna for the past few years, the group covers a lot of ground and does a fantastic job helping us keep our building clean. Paul likes to mop floors and sanitize things like hand rails and elevator buttons, helping to keep everyone healthy. Jodi likes to polish the elevator doors and clean windows and mirrors. Carol reports enjoying cleaning the TV lounges, where families can relax and read books or watch child-friendly programming. Whitney and Kristi like to help keep the floors clean by sweeping and mopping. These volunteers also enjoy seeing our guests throughout the building, who appreciate the work they do.

The Housekeeping Department would like to extend a huge thank you to these committed volunteers who work hard each week to keep People Serving People clean and welcoming to guests and visitors!
Academy of Holy Angels
People Serving People’s Housekeeping Department has been very fortunate to have a group from Academy of Holy Angels campus ministry team volunteering with us every Tuesday for the last few months. Each week, this group comes in to help us keep the building clean along with welcoming the families staying at People Serving People. Ren, Shannon, and Amanda (pictured from left to right) do a tremendous job cleaning areas such as the hallways and family lounges, where guests of the shelter get to read books, enjoy kid-friendly TV programming, and relax in a comfortable and clean environment.
The volunteers cover a lot of ground, and we sure appreciate their help! When asked what they like about coming to People Serving People, Amanda responded that she enjoys working with the Housekeeping team and cleaning with friends, and Shannon mentioned that she enjoys folding laundry and helping guests exchange their linens while volunteering. Everyone agreed that they love helping the community.
The Housekeeping Department would not be able to keep our 110,000 square foot building clean without the help of volunteers like the group from Academy of Holy Angels campus ministry team. We’d like to send a great big thank you to these volunteers for all of their hard work!
