As National Volunteer Month draws to a close, we're taking a moment to express our gratitude for the dedicated volunteers who tirelessly support the women, children, and staff at the shelter. Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization, and we couldn't do what we do without them.

Joining us on the podcast are the incredible founders of Men in Pink, Daniel Ramos and Christoph Babka, who bring their strength and compassion to the shelter each month. From organizing and cleaning around the building to sorting donations, serving meals, and hosting fun activities with the kids, their impact is truly immeasurable. Tune in as they share their inspiring stories of why they volunteer and recount their favorite moments spent making a difference in the lives of others
