Volunteer of the week.
The Community Wish List, The United
Way's Volunteer Centre and the Salvation
Army all are thankful for Mary Ann Mac-
Donald, this week's volunteer of the week.
Mary Ann MacDonald has been a
caregi�er at the Salvation Army's
homeless day shelter, the turning point,
since February. She serves as a needs
assessment assistant at the shelter and
greets clients, counsels and refers them to
additional services. She also makes a point
to talk and listen to the homeless.
The Salvation Army isn't MacDonald's
first volunteer experience. As the wife of a
military husband, she saw a need to pro-
vide an outreach to servicemen and their
families. Thus, Mary Ann MacDonald
founded and ran a Crisis Centre at Rob -
bin's Air Force Base in Georgia.
After her husband's retirement, they
returned to Nashville where she saw a
chance for a new experience working with
the homeless.
"The homeless have shown me great.
respect, kindness and have given me more
than I could ever give,” she said.
"Don't be afraid. They are people who
need love and care to get their lives turned
around. I've seen it happen here."
Not only Nashville needs more
volunteers like Mary Ann MacDonald,
they are needed everywhere. If you have
met Mary Ann as I have,' you will find a
very warm smiling lady.
