Our Story
I loved playing board games with my Daddy.
A Tribute to My Daddy
Do Good Now is my tribute to my Daddy. From a young age, he taught me the importance of serving others now, not later. His simple yet powerful words, "do it now," echoed in my mind long after he was gone, inspiring me to turn his wisdom into tangible deeds.
Challenges to Serving with Young Children
When my children were young, we lived in Austin, Texas. I struggled to find opportunities to serve with them. It was important to me to teach my kids how to volunteer and serve others, as service fosters empathy, kindness, and a culture of giving within the family and community. But finding ways to volunteer with little ones in tow was a challenge.

Discovering Little Helping Hands
That’s when I discovered "Little Helping Hands," an organization founded by Marissa Vogel. Marissa was dedicated to finding volunteer opportunities for young children. Inspired by her vision, I became determined to bring the same spirit of volunteerism to every community we moved to.
Moving and Growing
As my children grew, we moved many times. Volunteering remained a core family value, but we missed the community we had with Little Helping Hands. Life was overwhelming during those years, and it was also during this time, that my beloved Daddy passed away.
Planting the Seed
Life will always be busy, but how “busy” looks will change over time. Deep in my heart though, the seed of service had been planted, and I knew I wanted it to grow. But how?

Do Good Now: A Legacy in Action
In tribute to my father's legacy, I began forming partnerships with organizations seeking volunteers and connecting eager individuals with opportunities in our York County community. I loved seeing our community of York County grow closer by helping each other!
A Catalyst for Change
With each connection made, Do Good Now evolved from a tribute into a catalyst for change. Today, we stand as a beacon of hope and action, with over 20 partnerships and countless opportunities for all ages to serve in their community.
