United Way Project Connect

Here is a testimonial from Jeff Miller.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in Project Connect.  Wow-what a powerful morning.  What beautiful people.  

You know, going into a situation like this you carry lots of images about the kind of people in need you will meet.   But none that I hosted or met fit the “profile.”  They were just people–amazing people.   I was as amazed by the other volunteers I met–all faiths, all beliefs, some drove for two hours to be there.  I left wondering who came with more need, the homeless or those who served them.   Doesn’t matter, abundance was there for all.

I had to leave at about 11:45 and hand off my second guest to another (the first took most of the morning).  The spirit was willing but my back wasn’t.  I think carrying (and loving) those beautiful little children that came into my care with Helen, and helping a frail Rachelle tote stuff around, was more than I was prepared for.  I will have to spend more time at the gym (or chiropractor) before attempting this again.  

I will treasure the hugs I got from Helen and Rachelle when we finished our time together –what goes around comes around–some sort of law I guess- (chuckle).”

Thanks again,

Jeff Miller
