THANKFUL THURSDAY with Randy and Angie Dowker

This incredible couple gives their time and talents to The Depot Teen Center in ways that truly help our mission come to life. They believe wholeheartedly in creating a place where teens can grow, feel supported, and discover their potential—and their service reflects that belief every day.

Randy is a quiet hero at The Depot—someone who will help anyone, anytime, without hesitation. He is always going the extra mile to keep our center running smoothly. Whether he’s repairing something behind the scenes, cleaning tables and floors, or making improvements to our building, Randy’s hard work helps create a safe, welcoming place for teens to thrive. At community events, he’s one of the first to show up and the last to leave—grilling food, doing the heavy lifting, and stepping in wherever he’s needed. Randy’s servant-hearted example inspires teens and adults alike, reminding us that leadership often looks like kindness in action.

Angie brings warmth, joy, and a true heart for service every time she walks through our doors. She jumps in wherever help is needed—whether she’s preparing food in the kitchen, supporting Operation Winter Gear, organizing during the Back-2-School Bash, or assisting with countless other activities. Angie has a gift for making teens feel welcome and cared for. Her willingness to go the extra mile shows our young people what compassion looks like lived out. Angie’s steady presence inspires us all to lift each other up and to serve with love.
