Sofia Berg / Volunteer Host

She turned one welcome shift into a weekly ritual

“People don't need a big speech when they walk in. They need one familiar face, a chair, and someone who remembers their name the next time.”

Sofia now helps lead breakfast welcomes and newcomer introductions, making Karusell feel immediately easier to enter.
