What is your idea of the perfect volunteer? Words like reliable, creative, generous, hard-working, well-connected, and more may come to mind. HomeStretch has the honor of being served by many great volunteers that fit this description. This month, we highlight two of them.
Howard and Canita Flint have labored alongside our organization with their time and talents for many years. You see their fingerprints at every event – not just attending, but also leading. You see their smiling faces as we plan, set up and wrap up our events. Howard serves as the ‘voice of HomeStretch’, lending his DJ-like voice and sense of humor to the role of our long-time emcee. Canita shares her creativity, can-do spirit, and ability to recruit and manage large numbers of volunteers. Even the Flint children aren’t exempt when there is HomeStretch work to be done. Piper, Oliver, and Campbell often join Canita and Howard in helping HomeStretch. Their commitment is an inspiring family tradition.
Donna Franz, Volunteer Coordinator, says it best: “The Flints are always the first to say ‘just tell us what you need us to do.’ In our minds, this makes them the perfect volunteers. Thank you, Howard and Canita!
