Congratulations to Pam Baptist for being the The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of St. Johns County, RVSP, volunteer of the year for St. Francis House! Pam moved to Florida from Maryland in 2003 and began volunteering at St. Francis House the following spring. Pam feels coming to volunteer helps keep her busy and on a schedule. She has always been a person who helps others if she can. “I feel like I contribute something. I hope what I do is helpful to somebody.” We look forward to seeing Pam twice a week and know she is helpful to many here at St. Francis House. There are many volunteer opportunities.
