As Care & Share celebrates its 50th Anniversary, they also want to appreciate Louise Moos. Louise lives her later life of being helpful. She started volunteering for Care & Share at the age of 66. Today, she is 96 and she isn’t letting her age stop her. Instead, she adapts. Her sister, Terry, was the Vice President of Care & Share when she started volunteering. “I wasn’t there a month and then they asked me to volunteer as Treasurer. I did this for about 15 years.” Back when she first started, Care & Share had food, furniture and clothing under one roof. She worked 2 hours a day every day. “I use to drive a truck and help move the furniture. I was also in charge of the food department at Care & Share. I would pick up 40 lb of frozen chicken and sort the food. That was when I was 70 years old.” “I do like to work and that is why I am still working here.” Today she works 2 days / week for 2 hours a day. Her tasks allow her to sit. She sorts and labels clothes with size and gender. It is work she can easily do and she enjoys knowing that she is helpful to Care & Share. “Volunteering and helping people who really need it makes you feel so good. I recruited my niece to volunteer at Care & Share. Rhonda works almost every day. Today she said to me, ‘I like working there because it makes me feel so good.’” I hope this story has inspired you to give a couple hours a day to a cause you believe in. Louise is living proof that age doesn’t matter, if you want to do good.
