RACINE â Jami La Rueâs schedule is always jam-packed.
Between working full-time as the only nurse at Behavioral Health Services of Racine County â where she does in-home mental health services â and volunteering, itâs hard for La Rue to find a free moment.
And even when she does, she still volunteers â even going so far as to use up vacation days at her job to extend a helping hand. Itâs what she did at the Hospitality Center inside St. Lukeâs Episcopal Church, which offers free meals and shelter to its visitors, located at 614 Main St. in Racine.
According to a Facebook post from the center, La Rue worked every Friday from May to December last year, âsometimes leading the effort solo as we provided up to 140 meals a day.â Until now, La Rue has helped gather donations for the center from friends and strangers alike.
