It is with great pleasure and joy that I present Michele Overly, Second Helpings’ Volunteer of the Month for July. There are so many things I can say about Michele. A couple of things I would share with you is that she is a great human, and a fantastic friend to Second Helpings. She moves quietly in her role as a Tuesday afternoon Bread Sorter. I always look forward to seeing her, our conversations are filled with lots of laughter, family updates, and swapping stories on our lives. I appreciate her dedication to our mission. Thank you Michele for your time here at Second Helpings!

Learn more about Michele in her own words below.

How did you become involved with Second Helpings?

I have been with Second Helpings since 2014. I got involved for a few reasons. I knew I wanted to make some difference and have always felt a need to help others. My kids were in school and I wanted to do something while they were there. Second Helpings fit that for me.

What have you liked best about volunteering with us?

It’s a wonderful place and I love what they do for the community. The people are fun to be around.

What do you do when you’re not volunteering with us?

I love to read and could read 2-3 books per week. I love to travel.

What would people be surprised to know about you?

My husband and I are empty nesters now that the kids are back at college except for our 2 dogs (one is an angel and the other is NOT)!
