Answering the Call
Mary’s Commitment to Community
Since 2021, Mary has been a dedicated volunteer with BakerRipley, consistently showing up to support Neighbors and families across our communities. Serving as an East Aldine Front Desk Volunteer and assisting with food distributions at both Ripley House and East Aldine, Mary’s willingness to help wherever she is needed continues to make a meaningful impact.
Her commitment to service was recently demonstrated once again when BakerRipley issued an urgent call for volunteers to assist with a Ripley House food distribution due to a shortage of volunteers. After reading the email request, Mary immediately signed up to help ensure families received the support and resources they depended on.
Mary’s responsiveness, reliability, and compassion embody the true spirit of volunteerism. Whether welcoming visitors at the front desk or helping distribute food to Neighbors in need, she consistently steps forward with kindness and dedication.
Thank you, Mary, for answering the call and making a difference.
