We love our volunteers here at Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County. We're enormously thankful for the thousands of volunteers with make our mission possible and are proud to say that Habitat's volunteers have put in a combined 11,489 hours in 2010!
One volunteer who has been a tremendous asset to Habitat since 2010 is Candace Corey Cook. We recognized Candace with a volunteer of the year award at our Annual Meeting in September, and again last week as she has clocked in over 240 volunteer hours.
Candace volunteers weekly at the ReStore and throughout the fall she helped as a site host at the construction site; checking-in and assigning our construction volunteers. Candace can also be counted on to help out at each of our various events and we take great advantage of her interior design skills to ensure that our presentations look magnificent. Her dedication has been a tremendous asset to us since she began volunteering in 2008. Without a doubt we depend on Candace and are thankful for her time, friendship, generosity and attention to detail. Because of Candace, and all of our dedicated volunteers, our ReStore continues to be a success.
As a way to thank our volunteers and recognize their importance in helping Habitat accomplish our mission of providing affordable housing in Santa Barbara, we provide volunteers with a custom name badge and celebrate their volunteer milestones. A little late off the block, we bestowed Candace with both her saw and hammer pins - showing that she has completed over 200 volunteer hours with Habitat!
