Janice Gary

Diapers Etc. Coordinator

(she/her)

Janice is full of love, joy, smiles, laughter, and loves to serve God's people. Janice started out receiving diapers in 2018, but as time went on and Diapers Etc grew, she saw a need for more volunteers. Since all the volunteers were friendly and loving, she knew she wanted to be part of that. So Janice asked the magic question, "Can I volunteer?" Janice also serves and worships at One Generation Church in her free time.
