<p>Christina Thayer, who has served as the volunteer coordinator at Haven of Rest Ministries for the past seven months, highlights the indispensable &quot;army&quot; of volunteers who sustain the organization’s mission, including the 97 individuals who contributed over 250 hours during the recent Resurrection Sunday weekend. These volunteers transform holiday meals into special events by providing seated table service rather than a standard buffet, distributing &quot;hope totes&quot; filled with personal care items, and performing essential &quot;behind the scenes&quot; work like sorting clothes and kitchen preparation. The ministry offers a broad spectrum of opportunities—from guest-facing roles in the men&#39;s division and Harvest Home to administrative support and outdoor maintenance—fostering a deep sense of community that keeps some families serving for over 30 years. Prospective volunteers can join this &quot;family&quot; for upcoming summer events like the Hopefest picnic and various canned food drives by calling 330-535-1563 or visiting havenofrest.org.</p>
