Karen Partridge of South Boston is one of Interfaith’s amazing volunteers. She is a nurse who loves helping people. About a year ago Karen went online to look for a volunteer opportunity where she could meet similar people who care about helping others as much as she does. She stumbled across Interfaith’s webpage. After reading about Interfaith online, Karen decided to call our volunteer coordinator Paula Daniels to set up a meeting. After discussing Interfaith’s various outlets for service Karen decided the Food Pantry would be the best fit for her. Over the past year she worked in the food pantry one day a week and has become an integral member of her team.  She also helps to coordinate signups for Interfaith’s various Holiday Help Programs. Karen enjoys working with her fellow volunteers, and believes that she has made great friends. “It’s wonderful to help people and make a difference. It’s not only great for the volunteers, but for the community.” Originally from London, England, Karen admits that she is a bad Brit and doesn’t drink tea. She encourages anyone to volunteer at Interfaith. “I even enjoy driving to Interfaith’s offices, knowing I’ll help people that day.”
