Congratulations Connie & Wilber!
From Yohan
This devoted duo are exemplars of generosity, giving much of their time so that neighbors can break bread and volunteers can feel joy during a moment of respite amid the hustle and bustle of pantry ops.
From Connie
Our family has lived near First Community Church for 53 years. I’ve shopped and volunteered at the Trading Post and taken part in Parent Growth classes. Our children attended the pre-school, and loved it. We’re members of Broad Street United Methodist, downtown. Twenty years ago, Elaine Disalvo arranged for me to collect leftover baked goods at the Giant Eagle to use at our church’s “Manna Cafe” dinner. We had extra, so I shared it with Heart to Heart. I also distribute baked goods to Friends of the Homeless, Broad Street Presbyterian Church’s food pantry, New Life, for their breakfast mission, the Fresh Market for All People, Pathways Club House, and the “Commonses” at Buckingham, Grant, Livingston, and Third.
I take our very friendly dog Wilber to visit at a nursing home. He discovered the Heart to Heart volunteers on our morning walks. He loves the petting, attention, and now treats he receives, and I appreciate the care with which they distribute the wide variety of food and other useful items. I’m glad to be a small part of Heart to Heart.
