TEMPLE, Texas — Executive Director Staci Masson has worked at Feed My Sheep for around five years. Masson said it's been some of the most rewarding work of her life helping others find hope in a hard time.
"It is an amazing place to be where you see things happen that you thought you would never get to see," Masson said. "We're here to say, 'You matter, and what your struggles are do not define you or your worth.'"
But with many of the nonprofit's older volunteers dropping out due to the risk of catching COVID-19, Feed My Sheep has had to rely on a core group of volunteers. Masson said some have been volunteering 50 hours a week and are simply worn out.
