Volunteers are the heart and soul of Turning Point, and Tom Erwin is one of them.

A jack of all trades, Erwin performs tasks including hanging blinds, taking out garbage and recycling, and replacing light bulbs for the Woodstock-based agency that helps victims of domestic violence.

Executive Director Jane Farmer said Erwin, 80, of Cary, is one of the major arteries that helps make the organization’s programs flow year after year. He’s saved Turning Point thousands of dollars in repairs by recognizing an issue before it becomes a problem, she said.
