Conviértete en voluntario

​PACS no podría brindar los servicios y el apoyo a la comunidad sin el tiempo y el esfuerzo de muchos de nuestros maravillosos voluntarios. Aquí hay algunos voluntarios que nos gustaría reconocer para resaltar su tremenda contribución a PACS.

​Homenajeados voluntarios de PACS

Debbie Varga

If you've ever received assistance through our monthly food appointments, you might recognize her friendly voice on the phone – meet Debbie Varga! Debbie assists Maria, our Client Services Manager, with managing monthly food appointment phone orders. She takes her time with each client, ensuring that their order provides them with exactly what they need. Additionally, when she is not talking with neighbors about their grocery requests, she helps out in the Market.  

Debbie started volunteering roughly two years ago after seeing a post that PACS was seeking more volunteers. Feeling a connection with our mission, she felt compelled to answer the call. Since joining, Debbie has built meaningful connections with the guests she assists over the phone, offering both companionship and a sense of value to everyone she talks to. In return, the guests often express how much they enjoy talking to her, and their kind words and positivity leave her feeling truly grateful.

Her drive for joining PACS was inspired by a close friend. Debbie’s friend from New Jersey would help provide food to those in need in her area during the holidays with a program similar to “Meals on Wheels”. Seeing the sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, Debbie sought to find her own way to give back to her community. Her advice for anyone looking to volunteer: “Just do it! Volunteering makes you feel good, and you have the chance to meet some great people.” In her time volunteering, she has been amazed by PACS ability to continue to accommodate the increasing demand for food assistance - “PACS doesn’t slow down!”

 

Before PACS, Debbie volunteered at an economic development society in Collegeville, where she provided clerical support. Her previous volunteer experience just shows her dedication to giving back to the community, a trait that continues to shine in her current volunteer role. Outside of volunteering, Debbie enjoys thrift hunting – seeking out unique, rare items in thrift stores to resell for a profit. The thrill of the hunt provides her with a sense of excitement and helps give items a second chance at life! She also makes time for regular exercise and enjoys going on walks, staying active while soaking in the beauty of nature. 

 

Debbie’s commitment to helping others through her volunteer efforts makes her an essential member of our volunteer team. Her kindness, work ethic, and enthusiasm for giving back serve as inspiration to everyone around her. We are fortunate to have Debbie as a part of our volunteer team, and we look forward to the positive impact she’ll continue to make in our community!

"The Heart of PACS" Awards

Every year, we hold a special event to express our gratitude towards the hardworking volunteers who support our mission. 

​En diciembre de 2023, realizamos un evento especial para expresar nuestra gratitud hacia los voluntarios trabajadores que apoyan nuestra misión. Aproximadamente 135 voluntarios se reunieron en PACS para ser honrados por su dedicación y esfuerzos.

 

Tuvimos el honor de contar con la presencia de varios funcionarios electos en el evento:

Senadora Katie Muth y Nikki Whitlock

Marian Moskowitz, presidenta del comisionado del condado de Chester

Peter Urscheler, alcalde de Phoenixville

 

La oficina de la senadora Katie Muth otorgó a todos los voluntarios de PACS el Certificado de Reconocimiento Senatorial del Estado de Pensilvania, en reconocimiento al "compromiso con el servicio voluntario en Phoenixville y las comunidades circundantes".

 

El alcalde Peter otorgó a todos los voluntarios de PACS la Mención de la Oficina del Alcalde del condado de Phoenixville, en reconocimiento a las “destacadas contribuciones de los voluntarios a los servicios comunitarios del área de Phoenixville”.

 

Un grupo selecto de nuestros voluntarios también recibió el Premio al Servicio Voluntario del Presidente de manos del presidente Biden. Este premio se otorga a quienes han trabajado como voluntarios una determinada cantidad de horas. ¡Elaine Miller ganó el Premio Presidencial de Oro por aproximadamente 700 horas de servicio voluntario!


Joseph J. Cowan, Jr. ha sido reconocido como ganador del "Premio Lois Gould Voluntario del Año" para 2023. El premio, que lleva el nombre de la fundadora de PACS, Lois Gould, se entregará al Voluntario del Año anualmente.

 

Estamos extremadamente agradecidos con todos nuestros voluntarios que dedican su tiempo y esfuerzo para apoyar nuestra misión todos los días.
