Time passes so quickly and I can hardly believe that I recently celebrated my 12th year of service with the  Thurman Brisben Center!

I have not only had the extreme privilege of working with those in our comm unity experiencing homelessness, but  also the privilege of witnessing firsthand the  many silent heroes in our community who give their time and talent  every day to those in greatest need. We are touched by so many. From our Meal Pr ogram volunteers to our job  readiness volunteers and those who provide direct services to our clients -- so much happens that we want to share  with you.

Over the next several weeks we will be posting interesting stories, short video clips a nd  information on our Facebook page -- www.facebook.com/thebrisbencenter. You can keep up  with our latest news and g et a close look inside Brisben by following us on Fac ebook! So here is

my challenge -- like and follow us on Facebook and help us share our amazing story!

Together we can make a difference.

Brenda is a busy professional, with a family and plenty of other responsibilities. She also has been a longtime volunteer and committed supporter at Brisben! She shares her comments on Brisben's mission to care for the homeless men, women, children and her experiences as a volunteer and supporter. 

Jessica is a soldier in the U.S. Army. Between her current assignment and her next duty station, she spends Tuesdays and Fridays preparing food and leading resident helpers in fixing and serving lunch to everyone at Brisben. Thank you Jessica for making a difference! Want to know what surprised Jessica most about volunteering? Visit www.brisbencenter.org to watch her video.
