July Volunteer of the Month: Sandra Schaper-Smith

Emmory Shipley, Communications Coordinator

Volunteer of the Month is awarded to someone who goes above and beyond in their role at the Home, exemplifying the values of Home of the Innocents in all the work they do and time they give to the children and families we serve.

Sandra Schaper-Smith, Hair Stylist Volunteer, was presented with the Volunteer of the Month Award for July. In 2018, Sandra and her family organized the first ever Home of the Innocents Fashion Show! She gathered a team of cosmetologists who styled hair and makeup for our residents. The kids felt like kings and queens being pampered and strutting down the runway!

Currently, Sandra cuts hair for our medically complex residents. Her cosmetology skills combined with her previous experience as a nurse makes her the perfect fit for this position! “It feels great to help out a place like the Home. Getting to know the residents and staff makes me feel like I’m part of a community” she shared.

Sandra provides an incredible service and we are so grateful to have her on the team!
