✨ Volunteer Spotlight:
Meet Teresa ✨
Teresa is one of those people who not only show up, but go above and beyond. She volunteers at the Baby Shop because she believes no child should ever go without. And recently, she didn’t just show up, she poured her heart into making sure our shop was ready for families.
During our seasonal changeover, Teresa stayed well beyond her normal volunteer shift, helping us sort, organize, and get everything ready for spring and summer. Because of her extra time and effort, we were able to get so much done and open our doors to a more organized, cleaner, and brighter shop! Her heart for this community and her dedication to showing up for families is something truly special to witness.
When she’s not at the shop, you’ll find her enjoying working on jigsaw puzzles with her husband, and if you’ve ever chatted with her, you know she might talk a little fast sometimes, creating new words (as she puts it 😄), and we think it's the most adorable thing ever!
What she wishes more people knew about the Baby Shop?
"There are so many resources available, especially through the CHIP program, and the quality of items here is truly top notch."
But what really stands out about Teresa is her beautiful heart. She shared:
“When you touch a heart, it will always be remembered.
I’m the one being blessed just to be a vessel to help others.”
That’s the kind of person who makes this place what it is.
Because of volunteers like Teresa, families in Floyd can come shop for their children at no cost and feel supported, cared for, and seen.
We are so incredibly grateful for you, Teresa. Thank you for being a part of our village.
