Staff Spotlight - Helen Love

Helen has a bright and infectious smile that delights the seniors on her delivery route. Her concern and care for the seniors is evident in her commitment to deliver meals through all kinds of weather, often traversing snowbanks and ice to reach a senior's door. Helen's compassion is on display every day as she advocates for our senior community and brings joy and laughter to so many. At the end of August, Helen is moving on to other ventures that will benefit from her care and compassion. Thank you, Helen, for all you've done at Copper Shores Meals on Wheels.
