Tom’s passion for MUST began 6 years ago when he first volunteered for the Gobble Jog. He now serves as a Development Officer and is also active with the KBA and the ECBA.
Bill Ivey
In 1995, my associate pastor told me MUST needed some help with their communications – specifically a “short” video for fundraising.
Ever since meeting the staff, I’ve enjoyed serving in the shelter, preparing meals for the Loaves & Fishes Dining Room, washing guests’ clothes and serving on the board for two terms, and I’m still helping with fundraising. MUST has become a part of who I am. I’m a member at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church where we’ve been involved with MUST for over 35 years.
