Volunteer Spotlight: Stacey Lyness

“Anytime I can be out in the community to serve, in any capacity, is a privilege”

When the call went out for American Red Cross volunteers to help, Stacey Lyness stepped up, just like she has done in the past 2 years. 

Lyness is deployed to help distribute cleaning supplies to those affected by the recent flooding. She has worked closely with her team and community partners to coordinate transport of the supplies to those in need.

“It was wonderful to see the community come together to help one another,” said Lyness. While distributing the clean up kits she noticed that how appreciative everyone was for the items needed, to begin the task of cleaning up their homes.

Her daughter recently reminded her of a comment she made many years ago. While watching the TV a story came on about Red Cross volunteers and Lynesss said, “One of these days I am going to be one of those people.” And now she is!
