BREAKING NEWS: The following message was received fromSt. Vincent de Paul’s Executive Director to HCR’s Community Service Event Coordinator, Kayla Williams DiNardo, after HCR’s March 22 Community Service event:
“Subject: No Words!!
Kayla, I really have no words for how appreciative we are to have your Porsche Club members volunteer with us today. With the hard work that your team did, we delivered a record number of 1,117 food boxes to families today! Amazing!
I knew the Porsche Club would be fast, but had no idea how fast they would make us go. You and your team were a blessing! Thank you!
We would love to have your group volunteer with us again. Let us know when you all have some availability.”
Thank you Kayla and all the HCR members who volunteered for making a difference!!!
