I have been a ISWAI volunteer for over 15 years and this work has opened a new experience that is extremely rewarding. I have met some of the most dedicated people and seen families come together at times when it is most needed. I would not give up this volunteering for anything as I learn and gain new and wonderful perspectives with each encounter.

By ISWAI has an extraordinary staff and volunteer corps. I am a volunteer and have been amazed at the efficiency and care the organization shows its volunteers and clients. The organization is very serious about its work and the rules that must be adhered to for everyone’s comfort and protection. The staff is so professional, yet kind, warm, and appropriate, as called for.
