Volunteer Spotlight: Linda & Steve Hawkins

Family House volunteers are some of the most dedicated, understanding, and caring individuals there are! Two amazing volunteers who have come to Family House are husband and wife Linda and Steve Hawkins. Linda and Steve have become weekly volunteers at Family House by helping in our new administrative office in Mission Bay.

Both have been working closely with staffers on various projects. Linda has helped reach out to our new Mission Bay neighbors to introduce Family House, as well as format descriptions for volunteer positions in our new home. Steve has been helping with the image archive project – processing and organizing 30 years’ worth of photos that other volunteers recently digitized. He’s been incredibly helpful – applying logic and care to the project so that we can use this imagery for our 35th Annual Gala and for years to come!

Thank you so much to Linda and Steve for your dedication to the families staying at Family House. Your help with events, administrative tasks, and overall positive demeanor enable Family House to continue to provide the services we offer!

We are so lucky to have such amazing community support!

Brian Lee: Rockstar Volunteer

Good luck to rockstar volunteer Brian Lee as he heads off to the UCLA School of Dentistry! As a USF student, Brian spent a semester with Family House volunteering for his service learning credit. After graduation, he came back to help out in the office before moving to start grad school. We wish you all the best at your next chapter in life, and we know that you’re going to be a wonderful dentist! Than you for all of your incredible hard work, Brian - we love you!
