VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Pete & Helen Soodsma.....................................

It’s hard to find two individuals more committed to Alpha Center’s work than Pete and Helen Soodsma. AAss tthheeyy bbeeggaanntthheeiirr vvoolluunntteeeerr wwoorrkk 3300 yyeeaarrss aaggoo,, aa ssppaarrkk wwaass iiggnniitteedd aannddsspprreeaadd ssoo tthhaatt ttooddaayy,, aa ppaassssiioonn ffoorr ssuuppppoorrttiinngg tthhee uunnbboorrnn

rruunnss ddeeeepp iinnssiiddee tthheeiirr vveeiinnss.. What started with helping prepare an Alpha Center mailing in 1987 turned into

thousands of hours both in the counseling rooms seeing clients and volunteering behind the scenes.

Encouraged by her pastor’s wife, Helen began counseling at the Alpha Center in the spring of 1988. Traveling 60 milesinto Sioux Falls almost every Monday, Pete would drop his wife off at the Alpha Center to meet with clients while he

helped with various handyman projects at the Omega Maternity Home. OOfftteenn sseeeeiinngg uupp ttoo 1122 cclliieennttss iinn oonnee ddaayy bbyy hheerrsseellff,, HHeelleenn ddiidd aallll sshhee ccoouulldd ttoo ssppeeaakk ttrruutthh aanndd hhooppee ttoo wwoommeenn iinn nneeeedd.. It was often on those drives home after a long day of counseling that her father, Jim Heynen, would

call to check in. Jim was equally invested in the Alpha Centerand volunteered his professional talents putting in flooring at the various locations. Helen volunteered as a counselor

for 18 years and started taking the hotline on nights, weekends and holidays over 20 years ago. HHeelleenn ssttiillll vvoolluunntteeeerrss ttaakkiinngg tthhee hhoottlliinnee ttooddaayy. A deep friendship

with the Unruhs was formed and the couples often played practical jokes on each other to alleviate some of the

stress that comes with working in the pregnancy care field.

A little over a year ago, Helen was taking care of Pete in thehospital and his nurse recognized her. Twenty-seven years ago that nurse had walked through Alpha Center’s doors in a vulnerable and scary situation. HHeelleenn hhaadd bbeeeenn tthhee oonnee
