American Sign Language (ASL) is one of the primary means of communication for deaf people in the United States — but it wasn’t always that way. Lip-reading was the preferred means of communication for the deaf community for decades, despite its unreliability.

As someone who primarily uses American Sign Language, Gail Muncie found herself in need of a place to serve others, as well as a place to belong. Her brother-in-law suggested volunteering at The Salvation Army’s Kroc Center in San Diego, where she has since found an outlet for volunteering her time, as well as creating meaningful connections with supportive co-volunteers and staff.
