Volunteer Spotlight: Jane McManus


When describing her experiences at Clean of Heart, Jane McManus stressed the blessings she has received since she started volunteering. Jane is a member of Our Lady of the Hills Church and heard about volunteer opportunities with Clean of Heart from both her church bulletin and friends who serve at Clean of Heart. She is at Clean of Heart washing, drying and folding clothes on the first Wednesday of each month. Jane says “My life has been incredibly blessed and I knew I needed to give back to others. I really look forward to my day and try not to miss it… I have never had so many thank-yous or God-bless-yous and hugs in my life!” One day at Clean of Heart, a client shared that he had never celebrated his birthday Christmas. Jane and her friends decided to change this. They now bring 2 dozen cupcakes every month when they volunteer at Clean of Heart along with personalized birthday cards for anyone who has a birthday during that month. Jane shares that she gets much out of this experience each month.

Thanks for volunteering with Catholic Charities, Jane, and for letting clients know that there are people who care for them!
