Why continue to volunteer at DESK for over ten years? For Marty, it’s all because of the great work that DESK does. He has watched DESK make an impact on guests’ lives. He says that “If you are looking for an organization that makes real changes in the lives of its clients, changes that you can witness first-hand, DESK is the place for you” – and he certainly knows that, having seen dozens of success stories in the time he’s volunteered.

Beyond volunteering every week, Marty hosts and attends DESK events, and every year he hosts a Facebook fundraiser for his birthday supporting DESK. Outside of DESK, Marty is a committed member of the Greater New Haven community! He serves as an Associate Fellow at Yale’s Trumbull College and co-leads weekly Torah study at Temple Beth David in Cheshire.

Marty is part of the fabric at DESK, and we couldn’t do transformative work without the commitment from volunteers like Marty. If Marty’s story inspires you, consider getting involved with DESK through volunteering, donating, or hosting a drive.
