VOLUNTEER IMPACT MYERS FAMILY What do you get the parents who have everything? It was a battle Kimberly Jones, daughter-in-law to Mike and Sammye Myers, faced. She presented the family with an interesting gift idea: support one of the Myers’ favorite non-profits. “In addition to doing a monetary donation to CitySquare, each of us wrote them a letter committing a year to volunteer service in their honor to show them the impact they have made in our lives through their commitment to the people of Dallas,” Kimberly said. “We felt the best way to honor them would be to offer our hands in service for the year.” The family volunteered at CitySquare in the Food Pantry, Thrift Store, and Food on the Move. “We enjoyed going as a family and working together, since it was a new thing for all of us it was less intimidating in the beginning,” daughterin-law Gina Jones said. “I would not hesitate to go again because everyone welcomed us and were appreciative we “We grew closer as a family and were able to see the diversity of Dallas in a new light.” were there.” The family was thrilled each volunteer site allowed all family members to get fully involved, regardless of age. “We all have different talents, and CitySquare has a solid system to utilize that effort to the max,” Kimberly said. To say the Myers were appreciative is an understatement. “It was absolutely the best gift ever,” Mike said. “We were so proud of them for thinking of something that would be this meaningful.” What started as a project to serve an organization and its neighbors gave the family an opportunity to bond in ways they hadn’t before. “We grew closer as a family and were able to see the diversity of Dallas in a new light—we see how we can pick up the torch and continue carrying on what Mike and Sammye have begun,” Kimberly said. “With CitySquare, we found different ways we can make a difference.” 8 CitySquare.org 2015 Annual Report | FORWARD 8
