They do not call in the inclement weather and say not today ,they look at it as a challenge ,their drive becomes stronger because they realize the cause .Those in need are part of us ,we could be there ourselves, so they are treated like family .The neat thing is Be The Change allows them to participate in helping by allowing them to help other families they know .Be the Change doesn't just do Be the Change ,they go above and beyond by volunteering their services to other needs in the community. Coreen and Mindy are examples of true heros in our community, I've never seen more dedicated people than them ,having no monetary compensation, just plain hearts of gold .And then of course the rest who are just as dedicated. They do not volunteer for notoriety, but simply because they see a need and they meet it .Their moto ...Be the Change you want to see in the world
