There are many Unsung Heroes at Homes with Hope. Today, they nominate one of their own:
Nancy Lewis first came to Homes with Hope as a volunteer through the National Charity League.
When Homes with Hope clients without cars needed help with rides, NCL could not provide them. However, Nancy said that she personally would be able to assist.
That was the beginning of over a dozen years of Nancy doing whatever is needed to help Homes with Hope clients, and the agency as a whole.
Nancy Lewis
For over 13 years, Nancy has been a mentor to a Homes with Hope parent. She supports the family in many ways. When they need Nancy, Nancy is there.
This summer, she helped one of the kids in the family get a scholarship to attend theater camp at the Westport County Playhouse. As always, Nancy found a way to make it happen.
Nancy was also a key part of Homes with Hope’s monthly Women’s Empowerment group. She offered support to women of all ages, who came to share stories and find encouragement. Nancy always had a positive outlook, and offered kind and caring advice.
During the school year, Nancy is a regular volunteer at ASAP — Homes with Hope’s after school program — helping kids with homework and guidance, all with a spirit of joy.
As if this was not enough to keep Nancy busy, she is also a regular volunteer in the food pantry and the Gillespie Center.
Nancy has touched so many clients and staff members over such a long time. We are all grateful for her amazing contribution of time, energy and loving support.
