Review for Lois Renfro Foundation, Auburn, WA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

Passionate motivation for supporting young people pulses through the veins of the volunteers of the Lois Renfro Foundation. My experience at a barbeque for the kids opened my eyes to the many ways George Brummell, his Board, and volunteers create a "space of grace" for children and teens: good food and fellowship, interactive games and conversation, sharing and living out values, and friendship in a world that can often be difficult for kids to navigate. Each month I see pictures of kids building healthy relationships, having fun in a safe place, and learning values that will deter them from the dark alleys of the street. Congratulations to the work of Lois Renfro Foundation!

Increase the revenue and number of volunteers

Role:  Volunteer & I visited and ate a meal with the young people learning about their interests and involvement with the other kids in attendance. As a former counselor, I find listening to be a gift to all ages.
