Letter: To the many volunteers of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio
Dear treasured volunteers:
I hope that this note finds you happy, healthy, and at peace!
This week is National Volunteer Week, and it is hard to say something meaningful and extraordinary in these uncertain times. Although this is challenging, and changes are being made, we all look forward to the time when again we can unite.
We want to say “thank you” for all that you have faithfully done to assist the elders and staff at the Mennonite Memorial Home, Maple Crest, Hilty Home, and Willow Ridge. You are greatly appreciated! The more than 9,300 hours that you have given in support of the elders and staff of MHCO in 2019 is extraordinary.
While waiting for that great day when we can gather again, keep praying and looking to the Lord.
Kindest Regards,
Dee Steffen
Activities Director Hilty Home,
Barb Gossard Activities
Director Mennonite Memorial Home and Willow Ridge,
Chelsey Bassett
Activities Director Maple Crest,

Volunteer Coordinator MHCO
