Meet Jocelyn Mata
Jocelyn Mata first connected with us while volunteering during setup for the Dena Backpack Giveaway, initially seeking service hours for school credit. But once she joined, it felt like she never left. Jocelyn quickly became an essential part of our team, playing a key role in the launch of the EFC Store, supporting community events, and always showing up whenever help is needed. Her dedication, positive spirit, and willingness to serve make her such a light within our organization. We are truly grateful to have Jocelyn as part of our team.
