as the Mental Health Awareness of Michiana (MHAM)<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Volunteer Highlight for September<\/b><\/span>!<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MHAM\u2019s volunteer highlight for September \u2013 <\/span>our wonderful event volunteers <\/strong><\/span>\u2013 means to shine a light on the good folks who support our mission with hands-on work for our many events in the community. <\/span>We\u2019d especially like to thank the volunteers who helped make our inaugural <\/span>Cake Festival<\/b><\/a><\/span> and <\/span>annual Gala<\/b><\/a><\/span> such a success this year!<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>MHAM Executive Director Lisa Kelly has this to say about the care and detail that volunteers bring to our events:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cVolunteers are critical partners for all of our big events to be successful.\u00a0 I am so grateful to the many volunteers who helped out at the inaugural Cake Festival and Gala.\u00a0 Volunteers lighten the workload for staff, allowing the staff to focus on serving the community. Whether that means serving cake at the Cake Festival, setting up or taking down tables and chairs, or helping at the sign in table, we hope that our volunteers know how much they are appreciated and that they are helping move our mission forward.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We reached out to volunteer Balinda Holloway, who worked with us on both events, about why she\u2019s chosen to donate her time and effort for MHAM:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI strongly believe that a community that supports mental health is a community where more people can belong, feel appreciated, and contribute positively. After many years of being a volunteer for a number of organizations, I have learned that the heart of a volunteer is unique and insurmountable. Volunteers are essential, not only in their support, but with the multitude of skills they provide in assistance to achieve the organizational goals. Volunteers contribute to a stronger community and act as valuable advocates, fostering loyalty and expanding an organization\u2019s reach. With them, a stronger community can do nothing but succeed!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
