It takes a great deal of hard work on the part of many people to keep a place like Children’s Center running at top capacity. That means our therapists and our administrative staff, sure, but it also means the dedicated effort put in by the selfless volunteers who help power all that we do. In this very personal episode of our podcast, we meet two such friends of the organization, Denise Burgoyne and Brian Thompson. They talk about how they came to join the ranks of the volunteers, the work that they have been doing, and the impact Children’s Center has had in the community.
