Meet Our Staff!
We have 10 full-time staff members. Our corporate office is in Columbia, Missouri in a renovated warehouse. In 2009 we renovated two 1700 square foot sections of a warehouse, turning one of them into a beatiful office and meeting area, and the second into our warehouse and store. We increased the square footage of both sides by building up, to accomodate for growth. And we have done nothing but grow since then.
The corporate office is the meeting place for our Board of Directors, Staff, and Volunteer Training weekends in addition to "Packing Days" four times each year for The Care Package Project. We have between 80 and 100 volunteers arrive on the scene to pack the boxes and visit with one another on packing days. We also host a military support group meeting one evening each month.
Staff and volunteers are officially in the office Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., plus many unofficial weekends and evenings putting in extra hours to get the job done.
