When she left that position, Duncan knew she wanted to remain in the social service field, and continue working for a nonprofit. She found Peace House on a job board. “I was drawn to their holistic care, by that I mean seeing the client as a whole person,” Duncan said. “For example, the shelter is not just a safe, physical place, but it’s also emotionally, spiritually and mentally safe place.” Duncan also felt a camaraderie in how Peace House staff communicated during her interviews. “They also seemed to really enjoy their jobs,” she said. “It’s a big deal to me when someone describes their job and I see their face light up.” Prior to her work with La Europa, Duncan owned her own gymnastics studio in Tennessee and worked as an associate children’s minister in Wichita Falls, Texas. Duncan said her ministry degree from Covenant College has helped with her job at Peace House. “I feel like it helps me to recognize people’s core motivations and beliefs,” she said. “When I talk with them about volunteering, I can really see what they’re passionate about and what they care most about. And that helps me learn about what’s driving them, why are they volunteering and what they hope to get from volunteering.” Duncan enjoys her new life’s calling at Peace House because she is drawn to the idea of individuals building up their communities, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic while victims are more likely to be abused because of the stay-at-home protocols. “Peace House had a 25% increase in calls to our helpline from December 2019 to March of 2020,” said Executive Director Kendra Wyckoff. “This trend continued through the months of April and May with an average 18 calls for help and support being received each day by our helpline or direct service staff.” Duncan said she is heartened to see the volunteers step up their game during these unprecedented situations. “It’s cool to see people coming together during this difficult time,” she said. “To be that person that equips and connects community members to support each other is a huge gift for me. Peace House is one giant team, and I’m just a small part of it.” Continued from B-1 ums, McChesney said. The grant came at the right time, due to the market’s finances, she said. “We had to return all of the 2020 vendors’ application money and that didn’t leave us a whole lot in the bank,” she said. “We also knew if we didn’t have money in the bank, our vendors were more impacted than we were, so we needed to get this directory up to direct people their way and make some purchases.” The directory is divided into 11 categories, which include arts, nonprofits, clothing and farmers, according to McChesney. “Those are the categories that people fill out when they apply for the market,” she said. “The only change we did was put jewelry into the artisan category, because we usually had jewelry on its own.” Although the Park Silly Sunday Market didn’t open physically this year, opening virtually made McChesney nostalgic as she looked at the list of past vendors. “It felt good to have a reminder that we have affected someone’s life,” she said. “It’s amazing to hear that one of our vendors has opened a brick-and-mortar business, or that one of the vendors has made an impact on one of the market’s attendees. I mean, I get emails from people who bought something from a vendor and want to connect with them again.” The directory will still be active after Sept. 7, and McChesney is tossing around the idea of using it to launch an e-commerce site. “We may open it up to non-Silly Market vendors,” she said. Still, McChesney said there is nothing like physically opening the market on lower Main Street. “We just didn’t feel comfortable hosting 15,000 people in a two-block radius this year,” she said. “So I can’t wait until we’re back on the street where we belong.” Market unveils directory PARK CITY SOCCER CLUB Player Placement for Boys & Girls ages 6-18 for the market, and he can take whatever we tell him and he makes it work. He used to live in Park City, but he now lives in Austin, Texas.” McChesney had thought about developing a vendor directory for a few years, and her idea became a reality with the help of a $12,500 grant from Salt Lake City-based marketing agency ThoughtLab last month. The grant not only helped Park Silly get the vendors search engine optimization, ThoughtLab is also marketing the directory in different medi- Competitive Soccer Season 2020/21 Get all the latest Park Record updates.
