April 22, 2025 · 51 min

In this episode of Our Community, Our Mission, we honor Volunteer Appreciation Month by exploring the vital role volunteers play at TRM. John Roberts, Deputy Director of Community Needs & Services, shares how volunteers impact every department, from food services to guest support. Suzie Paslay reflects on her journey as Volunteer Coordinator, emphasizing the personal and spiritual significance of each volunteer’s service.

With between 70 to 90 volunteer spots available each day, these dedicated individuals are essential to TRM’s daily operations. From preparing meals to supporting guests and staff, volunteers are the hands and hearts behind the mission, making it possible to serve those in need with excellence and compassion. Suzie also highlights the importance of being people-oriented in her role, recognizing each volunteer’s heart and unique contribution—turning what could be a numbers game into a deeply personal ministry.

Tune in for a moving conversation on purpose, service, and the power of showing up with a willing heart.
