"The reason I plan to keep volunteering is that through this program, I can give a person in need immediate results. I get to meet the people I'm helping face-to-face, and I can tell a person they'll be receiving a $3000 refund, and there's no charge for the service. That's huge. There aren't that many volunteer jobs that afford this kind of opportunity to directly impact people's lives."
