How did you start volunteering?
My friend, Doc, began working here in November. He asked me to volunteer where he worked, and I said yes. I didn’t even know that MT moved to Southeast.
What made you want to continue to volunteer?
I liked how welcoming and nice everyone is at MT. I also just wanted to help my friend. I love the environment and vibes. Everyone is like family.
What are your plans after wrapping up volunteering at MT?
I leave for basic training in South Carolina.
Favorite MT moment?
Filming in the MTM to promote awareness about the program.

The Global Passport trip was a trip I’ll never forget…I was able to step out of my comfort zone and create new relationships.

In May 1983, Bethesda United Methodist Church collected 277 sandwiches to support Martha’s Table and its program McKenna’s Wagon, for the first time. In May 2023, the church celebrated 40 years of support by collecting over 2,000 sandwiches and trail mix.

What I enjoy most about being a father is just the happiness I feel from giving unconditional love and protection. I love being there for them and hearing them say “That’s my dad” proudly to their friends.
