“As a caseworker, I have the privilege of getting to know clients on a more personal level.”
This says a lot about Kathie Fuchs, our newest volunteer in the spotlight. Kathie volunteers weekly as a caseworker, and also serves in the Client Resource Manager role several times a month. Her commitment to our clients is inspiring; she worries when she hasn’t seen a regular client and yet celebrates their milestones along the way! She remembers sharing a joyful moment with a client who overcame several challenges and was proudly stating that she no longer needed our services. The happy client said “it’s time for me to go so you can help someone new.” Kathie talks about how this was bittersweet but a great reminder about how Circle of Concern touches the lives of so many in our community.
Not only are we lucky enough to have Kathie guiding our clients, but she also serves on our scholarship committee and recently joined the Garden Greens team. She has a few other talents up her sleeve as well; her help on the Trivia Night silent auction team was invaluable!
When she’s not at Circle, Kathie is having fun! She has six grandchildren – all in St. Louis – and they keep her running! To channel her creative outlet, she enjoys painting furniture and cabinets for family and friends and also volunteers at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Friday nights.
What’s Kathie’s favorite aspect of volunteering at Circle? The people! The clients, volunteers and staff all “working together to provide positive outcomes. That’s a win-win for me!”
Thanks for all of your efforts Kathie! We appreciate you.
