Bob Entwistle

Many of you have probably met Bob Entwistle operating cash in our New to You thrift store, but as you can see in this picture, he is a man of many talents. Here you see him bagging rags for resale as part of the Resources Plus program and he also helps out with the recycling of books. If Bob is spending time in the Ribbons Prep program, he might be cutting or counting ribbons for the next ribbon order on the production line. Other days he might be applying his charm to sell raffle tickets in the store. You never know where you might find Bob when he is here at STEPs on Arthur but when you do, you are guaranteed to find him putting forward his best effort and wearing a smile. Despite having a significant visual impairment, Bob believes that it is very important for him to stay as engaged in life as he possibly can. He is willing to try anything and will help wherever and whenever he can. Bob is quick to thank people for their support but the reality is, Bob is a valuable addition to STEPs, reminding us daily that with a positive attitude, we can accomplish great things. We are limited only by our excuses.
