A Bittersweet Farewell to One of Our Own & Temporary Halt to Volunteer Enrollment

LCHS Relations Coordinator, Lauren Bacon's, fun-loving personality and contagious energy caused us to quickly find a friend in her. On a positive note for Lauren, but a sad one for LCHS, Lauren has accepted a promising job locally and she's left her staff role at LCHS. While you won't regularly see Lauren and her LCHS adoptee pup, Yoda, at the office, they've promised not to stay away for long. Please join us in wishing great things ahead for Lauren!

Due to the timing of Lauren's departure and current disaster response efforts, LCHS will be closing regular volunteer enrollment for the remainder of 2018 beginning on Monday, October 22nd. Recurring volunteer opportunities will continue as normal and new opportunities will be available to currently active volunteers and/or the public as needed. We simply won't be accepting new applications or holding orientations until after the New Year.
