Congratulations to Sue Atkinson, SPIN's Spirit of Volunteerism Award Recepient!

Sue Atkinson volunteered at SPIN as liaison for the St. Mark Presbyterian Church Deacon’s Ministry. For over three years she championed SPIN’s program needs to the other Deacons in the ministry. She has spent countless hours organizing food drives, backpacks for SPIN’s school children, Mother’s Day gifts for the mothers in SPIN’s family program, hygiene drives, Christmas Giving Tree gifts for SPIN’s children, as well as monetary donations for other needs at SPIN. We appreciate her dedication to serving all our clients and their families. She is a true treasure!

SPIN Spotlight

Thank you to Crevier Classic Cars and the Crevier Family!

Special thanks to Jill, Donnie and Jack Crevier for donating their time, talent and resources to SPIN. Jack and Jill Crevier asked their nephew, Donnie Crevier, owner of Crevier Classic Cars, to help provide rear and side windows along with a bench seat for our new van to make it more functional for Street Service. Donnie generously agreed and was instrumental in making it happen.
