Each month we like to highlight an employee who exemplifies the mission, philosophy, and values of our organization.
Donna Naccachian, Major Gifts Officer for the Orange County Rescue Mission, is September’s employee of the month. Donna is known as our “Ambassador” of the Village of Hope as she is always showing the love and joy of Jesus and is often found around the Village guiding tours or cheerleading our students.
When Donna is in her office, she can usually be found on the phone soliciting donations, sharing our stories and successes, or thanking our donors for their gifts to our ministry.
We’re proud to have Donna on our team and we congratulate her on being September’s Employee of the Month
