Meet Bernie and Dan, one of the fantastic volunteer couples at New 2 You that each use their gifts in vastly different ways to serve! Bernie began volunteering at New 2 You about six years by cashiering while doing our store’s bookkeeping remotely. Dan started volunteering about two and a half years ago in the men’s clothing department and is now the department manager.

Having been an accountant all her life and spending part of the time in accounting at the Grand Rapids Christian Schools’ main office, Bernie enjoys being able to use her unique accounting skills to serve the store. In his earlier years, Dan, however, would have never pictured himself in the men’s clothing department, but he saw a need within it upon coming to New 2 You and has been glad to learn how to manage it effectively ever since.

When asked what the couple looks forward to most when coming to New 2 You, Bernie replied that she loves seeing the regular Tuesday morning customers as she cashiers and getting to know them personally. Dan loves being busy and knowing that his work is going to a great cause: supporting Christian education, which the couple believes strongly in. Both are very proud of everything about New 2 You and are so thankful to have gotten connected with such a vibrant store and community.

We’re so grateful for Bernie and Dan and their unique contributions to the store and community! Thank you, both!
