Regular listeners know I volunteer delivering food from stores were going to throw away to a community fridge. A community formed among the volunteers and guests.

Tina is one of the central characters in that group that everyone knows (another is Kevin Fucillo, also a podcast guest). We go back a few years. She was born in the south in 1933, so you can do the math, but you’d never guess. She’s at times a firecracker, full of life, ready to handle anyone. She’s friendly to all, but ready to police anyone overstepping bounds. She’s always caring about the community as a whole and each person in it. She goes out of her way to help people beyond just delivering food. The community wouldn’t be the same without her.

She asked me not to share her picture, so I’m only showing her side picture here, during a winter delivery, but she’s okay with my sharing the video that still came from. It was taken by a TV crew doing a story on me but they didn’t use it. She spoke more softly when I turned the microphone on, so I urge you to watch it to see her energy outdoors.
