USO Vicenza Volunteer of the Month - October 2023

Please join us in congratulating Raisa Hedesa on becoming the USO Vicenza’s Volunteer of the Month for October 2023. Raisa’s outstanding contributions to the USO Vicenza and the Vicenza Military Community remind us of the power of volunteering and the difference it can make in the lives of our military families. One of the aspects that makes Raisa such a beloved member of the USO Vicenza family is her active involvement with our Teddy Bear Club. Raisa’s love for this initiative, designed to provide comfort to military children during challenging times, is evident in the enthusiasm with which she approaches every activity. She has become a source of joy and reassurance for these young ones, brightening their days with her kind words and infectious smile. Whether it is a batch of warm, fresh cookies, her kindness and ability to connect with the children, or her infectious smile, Raisa has a way of bringing our raising the atmosphere of the center and helping to bring the community together. She often takes it upon herself to clean and organize the center, ensuring that it remains a place where our military members and their families feel at home. Once again help us thank Raisa for becoming USO Vicenza’s Volunteer of the Month for October 2023.

Volunteers like Raisa are how the USO continues to complete our mission of connecting service members and families to home and country while stationed abroad. By donating time and skills, our volunteers allow the team in Vicenza the chance to bring many amazing programs to the military community. Thank you, Raisa, for contributing to our efforts “for the people who serve”!
