Volunteer of the Month

Our volunteer of the month for August 2009 is Erica Vance.

Erica began volunteering at The Salvation Army this summer, and worked in our Social Service Department. Erica also helped in Tools For School and The Salvation Army Food Pantry.  Erica was nominated for her strong work ethic as well as her kind spirit that touched the people that she worked with. “She’s a blessing to have here,” a fellow food pantry volunteer said.

Erica enjoys summers at Coldwater Lake, reading,  learning about languages and people, traveling, and making music.
After graduating from Ball State with a degree in Elementary Education and Spanish, Erica went to Spain to teach English in a Spanish elementary school in Madrid and will do the same this year. Erica says, “I have enjoyed the time I spent with The Salvation Army and I hope to use the experiences to teach elementary school full time after this  year.”
