From homeless veterans to the San Diego Food Bank, Sharp HealthCare employees, as well as their friends and families, have a passion for lending a hand. Here you will read personal stories of care and commitment. Do you have a tale to tell?

Our volunteers tell their stories.

"I was amazed at how much this event would affect me. Just seeing the faces and attitude of the athletes was infectious. Thank you for the honor and opportunity." — Chris H., radiology manager at Sharp HealthCare, volunteered with Sharp Lends a Hand at the Special Olympics

"Having the Sharp commitment was what completed my experience so that I could be in the right place at the right time." — Elizabeth E., Sharp Lends a Hand volunteer at Operation Stand Down who was reunited with her long-lost brother at the event

"It makes me feel great to know I am making a difference. The best part of this event is that family members are encouraged to participate. I bring my husband and our son. We get to spend time together while supporting an important cause. After the last event, my son told me how much he appreciates what he has, knowing there are people out there who have very little. I was so proud!" — Norma C., patient services representative at Sharp HealthCare, volunteered with Sharp Lends a Hand at the San Diego Food Bank
