Redding volunteer, Melanie Hunter has been involved with Make-A-Wish since 2006. “Someone I was helping through another volunteer opportunity saw my skills in helping her modernize paper spreadsheets onto the computer and she asked me to help her do the same for Make-A-Wish.” 

From that moment, there was no looking back for Melanie who has served in many volunteer positions, including being a Wish Granter, then a Regional Lead Wish Granter, for the North State Regional Council and also a Volunteer for our annual Results Radiothon event. 

Melanie began volunteering for our Radiothon event in 2008. She has done everything from helping with raffles, to greeting wish kids and working on the phone bank!

Whether it's kids who come in with baggies of change that they've collected from their friends or even breaking open their own piggy banks, Melanie says local community supporters and families come from all over to bring everything they have to help donate for local wish kids.
