This year, I was honored as a Woman of Valor and Humanitarian Award Recipient by the St. Francis Food Pantries & Shelters. It was a great honor for me. I enjoy working together to raise funds that provide thousands of children and families with food, medical supplies, diapers, school supplies and other necessary items that support families in need in N.Y.
