Judith is an accomplished artist who loves arts & crafts, but recently had to stop attending classes and volunteering her talents due to financial restraints and vehicle repairs. Thanks to the Western PA chapter, Judith will now be able to attend art classes, purchase much needed art supplies, and share her love of the arts with others. Judith is well known for her community service and volunteerism, serving as Secretary on her facility’s council. She is also known for her generosity, often giving her own limited food to others in need in her building. In addition, Judith started a pot luck dinner program at the facility to help out others in need at the end of the month when their funds are low.
