This month’s Good Human is Denny Mosseller, a man who has volunteered over 1000 hours of community service to support the work of Plano nonprofit The Storehouse Community Center.
Often called simply “The Storehouse,” this nonprofit offers four integrated programs—the Seven Loaves Food Pantry, Joseph’s Coat Clothing Closet, Project Hope Neighbor Care, and the Academy Education Program—which all provide support for neighbors from Collin, Dallas, and Denton counties.
Mosseller first began volunteering at The Storehouse after a friend encouraged him and his wife, Kay Kay, to serve in the food pantry, where he quickly witnessed the compassion and dedication between neighbors seeking food and the volunteers and staff.
For the past three years, Mosseller has also volunteered in The Storehouse’s Academy education program, where he is part of a team teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) classes on Saturday mornings.
“I truly love working with our students and watching their English skills grow and their confidence soar,” says Mosseller. “It is especially rewarding when a former ESL student stops by on a Saturday morning to share how much they appreciated our support and how well they are doing in their job and life. Working alongside my fellow teachers and the Academy staff also brings a great deal of joy to my life.”
In honor of his service, he’s also been named Volunteer of the Year by the organization. Candace Winslow, CEO of The Storehouse Community Center, says, “Denny embodies a deep, consistent commitment to serving others with humility, compassion, and joy. Whether he is in the pantry, the classroom, or simply encouraging those around him, he leads by example and reminds us that lasting impact is built through relationships.”
