CARLA UNDERWOOD
OCC Volunteer Position: Administrative Assistant
A Little Bit About Me: I'm married and have 2 children. I work at a Mom's Morning Out program at our church where I am lead teacher and also teach 3 year olds. I love spending time with my family!
My Favorite Thing to Put in a Shoebox: I always put in paper and pencils and am sure to always include pencil sharpeners. Everyone likes to doodle or draw, and these items can also be used for school work or in their "Greatest Journey" class.
Why I LOVE OCC: OCC just spoke to me. I love how it is an easy way to make a big difference in a child's life. And then, in turn, it also affects the child's family and friends!
One of My Favorite Bible Verses: Isaiah 30:21, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it.""
