"I just like to help people"

Inday is a gal with a bubbly personality who is quick with a laugh and friendly smile. She has attended Garden Center programs since 1997 where she shares an apartment with her long-time friend, Sue.

Inday is excited about learning the ropes at Second Chance. She’ll be drawing on her experience in Garden Center’s Volunteer Program where she has volunteered for many charities including Meals on Wheels and Operation Blessing Food Pantry, as well as packing and delivering orders through Garden Center’s General Store. 

When asked why she wants to work at Second Chance, Inday says, “I just like to help people.” She is just one of the many reasons you’re going to love shopping at Second Chance.
