Volunteer Month Spotlight: Volunteer Coordinator Rolanda Logan
Rolanda Logan stepped into the role of YMOW Volunteer Coordinator in January 2019. Since then, she’s seen the number of people willing to offer their time to YMOW grow. And she has big plans to involve even more people in the YMOW mission to provide food, friendly visits and other services to the homebound residents of Ypsilanti.
What do you enjoy most about your job as volunteer coordinator?
One of the things I enjoy most is connecting caring and kind individuals in the community with our seniors. I manage 150-plus volunteers and they all share unique stories about why volunteering at Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels is a great experience for them.
