Hirva has been volunteering at FCA supporting the Development department by helping with filing, organizing, creating FCA packets for meetings, and data entry. Because of her knowledge and skill with technology, whatever project she is asked to do she does quickly and efficiently.
“Hirva always arrives with a smile and a willingness to help. We are very fortunate to have such a committed individual giving of her time,” said Lisa Habasinski, Manager of Community Engagement at FCA.
We truly appreciate Hirva every day and especially during Volunteer Appreciation. Thank you Hirva!
Why did you choose to volunteer with Family & Children’s Agency specifically?
Honestly, it chose me. I was looking at the Norwalk volunteering websites and applied to pretty much everything that seemed to connect with my skills and FCA was the first and only one to get back to me so here I am.
What does volunteering mean to you personally?
Personally, I find volunteering extremely fulfilling. My motivation is to give a small contribution towards something that I believe in and it keeps me grounded so that I can find my purpose.
Is there a moment or memory from volunteering that stands out to you?
There isn’t one specific moment but one thing that does stand out is all the little conversations I have with people here. They are so welcoming that it feels like working with long lost friends.
