Thanks for joining us for the 2021 Walk Out of Poverty!
Here’s what’s happening
It’s #NationalVolunteerWeek and at Concern America we have the most wonderful group of volunteers who are always so generous with their time and want to give a helping hand. We’d like to highlight a few of our awesome volunteers throughout the week!
Today, we are highlighting Concern America volunteer Julie Garner! Here’s her Q+A.
1. How long have you been a volunteer with Concern America?
Not exactly sure - for several decades.
2. What about Concern America drove you to want to volunteer?
Family legacy; my mom, Rosemarie Garner, was a Concern America volunteer and I learned what an amazing organization it is.
3. What are some tasks/duties you do as a volunteer?
Craft sales and Walk registration
4. What do you enjoy most about volunteering?
Interacting with Concern America staff and also with people at the craft sales where I can let others know about the work that Concern America does.

“All of your support for Concern America goes directly to support our work here in Guatemala, in different projects such as water testing, improved stoves, environmental health trainings in the communities, all of the health promoters and midwives, the health care that’s provided in the communities, as well as in our practitioner-run health clinic in Las Cruces. It also supports all of the patients that have few resources. “
- Silvestre, Environmental Health Team and Peten Spoonmaker Cooperative member
Celebrate the mothers and mother-figures in your life by supporting midwives in Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia!
Each $100 donation provides a full birthing kit to a community midwife who will support many new moms and their babies every year. A card will be sent on your behalf to the mother/mother-figure you honor with your gift, and you will receive an acknowledgement of your tax-deductible donation.
