The 6000th Hour

2/6/2019

4 Comments

 
​On Tuesday, Feb. 5, Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area celebrated our longest ReStore volunteer’s 6000th volunteer hour. Emmie Rosson has been volunteering with us since a week before our ReStore opened in 2006.

Emmie is in the ReStore each week, chatting with other volunteers, customers and staff and picking up any extra work she sees that will improve the store. She does this because she loves the ReStore, Habitat La Crosse and the people with whom she works.

At the pizza party celebrating all her hours of hard work, she couldn’t stress enough what a great place to volunteer the ReStore is. She has never heard a volunteer say a negative thing about the environment. Emmie referred to the “Why I Volunteer” posters hung up on the break room wall, emphasizing that people wouldn’t return day after day if they didn’t love it here. ​

Emmie’s passion for the ReStore doesn’t stop with her. She has been actively recruiting more volunteers since she started helping at Habitat La Crosse. From friends and family to ReStore customers at the register, Emmie has successfully brought in several awesome volunteers to help Habitat build more homes, communities and hope.
​
At Habitat La Crosse, we are incredibly grateful for our volunteers like Emmie. We could not do anything we do for the community without them!

Emmie is the first person to greet me when I 'm looking for that something you can't find anywhere else. She knows where things are and saved me time trying to find things on my own. Good reliable and trusted worker.

Way to go Emmie 👍my earliest memories of your volunteering goes back 50 years when you were a den leader for the Riverland Girl scouts and many other projects through the years. I'm proud that I could be there to help you. You set the bar high when it comes to goodness. I love you mother.
