Volunteer Spotlight – Jack Kashork

YWCA Spokane would like to express our sincere gratitude to Jack Kashork through this month’s Volunteer Spotlight.

Shoutout to Jack Kashork – Volunteer Extraordinaire!  Jack decided that he wanted to spend a portion of his summer vacation giving back to his community, and reached out to us to see how he could be of help. From the beginning, he stressed that he was willing to do whatever was needed, no matter how tedious.  Jack scanned receipts, washed dishes, inventoried supplies, sorted clothing, and did everything that was asked of him with enthusiasm.  Sometimes, he would recruit his sister, Catelin, to help. He even consistently asked to come in extra days beyond what we had scheduled!  We’re so grateful for Jack’s help this summer getting organized, and wish him the best in his new school year!
