Volunteer Stories

She's here because she has to be. He's here because he wants to be. Neither expected what they'd find. Chyna Flores never meant to end up at Shady Pines Residential Home. But fifty hours of mandatory community service is the only thing standing between her and repeating the school year. She's loud, creative, restless - and absolutely not the type to bond with retirees or rule‑following volunteers. Graham Whittaker is the opposite in every way. A dedicated Adventure Scout with a clipboard and a sense of duty bigger than he is, he volunteers at the Centre because he genuinely wants to help. He didn't expect Chyna's chaos. He didn't expect her honesty. He definitely didn't expect the way she makes the quiet parts of life feel bright again. Between hydrangeas, bingo nights, and the memory of Doris - the resident who changed them both - Chyna and Graham discover that sometimes the person you least expect becomes the one who understands you best. Why Us? is a heartfelt YA contemporary about grief, growth, unexpected connection, and the kind of love that blooms where you never thought to look.

Beyond everything they do to keep us safe, our military service members spend long periods of time away from the comforts of home, family, and friends. This can lead to feeling disconnected from the people and places they love and cherish. That's why DoSomething.org and Johnson & Johnson teamed up to launch the Smiles for Soldiers campaign, which activates young people to send heartfelt thank-you cards to those in the military.

Coco Easton is a 48 year old married mother of two living comfortably in a Rhode Island suburb until a drunken New Year's Eve proclamation pushes her to find a job she didn't know she needed. After several demoralizing rejections, the stay-at-home mom rushes to get volunteer work to save face before her next book club. Circumstances lead her to The Mission of Hope where she encounters a handful of colorful characters including: Ernie, the father figure of the organization who is a former cop with a tragic past; Bull, the intimidating truck driver; Daisy, a teenage thief bearing a secret family burden, and an enormous stray dog trying to slip into the ragtag family himself. Day after day, as Coco tries to find her footing with this new group, she struggles to balance the dichotomy of her privileged home life with the hard realities faced by the Mission's clients who are struggling against circumstances as varied as the used furniture and bedding they leave with. This, along with the lives of the other Mission volunteers, fuels a story full of humor, unraveling secrets, and silver linings.
