Volunteer of the week: LITA’s Lisa Euphrat

Residence: San Anselmo

Agency: The mission of LITA (Love is the Answer) is to improve the quality of life for the residents of Marin’s long-term care facilities by providing residents with regular companionship and connection to the outside world.

Quote: “LITA pet connection, one-to-one and office volunteer Lisa Euphrat when faced with our pandemic a year ago, didn’t consider stopping visits with her resident friend,” says Tanya Mendoza, LITA volunteer director. “Instead, she and her furry family member, Lea, sat outside the window to safely visit with her friend at her facility. Additionally, Lisa reached out to her friends, family and neighbors for iPads and laptops to be donated to LITA in our efforts to help our friends in facilities keep in communication with family, friends and the outside world. Then she delivered them to the facilities. One year later, Lisa is still volunteering and in person. … We love Lisa.”
