Boca Helping Hands commemorated its 27th anniversary with a celebration by the Heart & Spirit Society honoring Pattie Damron and Peggy Jones. The annual event brings together current and former board, staff and volunteer members for service activities including cooking hot meals and distributing pantry bags. ‘We were so pleased to celebrate our 27th birthday by honoring two key volunteers who helped us in the early days of the organization,’ said Andrew Hagen, executive director of Boca Helping Hands. ‘The first volunteers at our original soup kitchen would be amazed to see where we are now, providing not only food but financial assistance and job training to nearly 35,000 of our neighbors every year.’ ABOVE: (l-r) Jones, Gary Peters and Damron.
