Robin is an exceptional volunteer who goes above and beyond, dedicating her time and energy to all three of our Kentucky senior centers—Boone, Walton, and Florence. As the only volunteer serving across all locations, Robin brings boundless enthusiasm and a can-do spirit to every task she takes on. Whether she’s organizing Bingo, packing food for the monthly government commodity program, helping serve dinner, or assisting with special events, Robin’s commitment shines through.
At Walton, Robin plays a key role in making Bingo a fun and smooth experience for all who attend. As a member of the Walton Advisory Council, she consistently brings creative and engaging ideas to the table, enriching the experience for all participants. Her involvement extends even further through her hands-on assistance at Lunch ‘n Learns, where she helps ensure everything runs smoothly, and everyone feels welcome.
Robin’s dedication doesn’t stop there. She actively promotes senior center events on social media, significantly boosting our outreach and visibility within the community. Her unique combination of passion, creativity, and reliability has had an incredible impact, making her an indispensable part of our volunteer team. We are deeply grateful for her unwavering dedication and the positive difference she brings to our centers and community.
For Robin, volunteering is a meaningful way to give back—and as she playfully puts it, “keeps her off the streets!” Robin values the strong connections she builds with the people she serves and the friendships formed are something she cherishes, She finds immense joy in helping others, and seeing the smiles of those she assists lets her know she’s made a difference in their day.
Robin believes that volunteering is an important way to stay social, especially for seniors. She’s passionate about encouraging people to get out of the house and engage with others, knowing that being part of a community can truly enhance and extend one’s life. For Robin, the rewards of volunteering go far beyond the work itself—it’s about the relationships, the joy, and the fulfillment it brings. Her passion for making a difference is truly inspiring, and we are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our team!
Congratulations Robin on being selected Kentucky Senior Centers’ 2024 Volunteer of the Year!
