We are the Raines family: a husband, wife, and our youngest son, Jacob. For us, giving back through volunteering is more than a choice; it's a core part of who we are. We have always believed in the power of volunteering and the positive impact it can have on our family and community. Volunteering isn't just about donating time; it's about dedicating our hearts to making a difference.

This time around, I am working hard to achieve my goals and make the most of this opportunity. I have applied for a scholarship that will help me get certified in dog grooming and eventually become a Veterinary Technician.
I am learning to believe in myself again. I needed food to take care of my great-grandchildren as well as kind words and prayers. I received both. The people here were so kind and gracious! After a while, my great-grandchildren were placed in a safe home. I thought I might help someone else that needed a kind word, prayer or just a friendly face by volunteering. But in reality, I have made life-long friends who encourage and inspire me daily. May God bless this ministry!
