She periodically adds them or a family
member to the TKA Mi Sheberach list,
saying there are never too many prayers
when in need of healing. She makes sure
each Jewish client has some of the essentials
for Jewish holidays. This year she purchased
80 bags of potatoes for latkes and passed out
Chanukah candles that were donated from
various local stores and Yad Ezra.
Ford says of all her volunteer efforts,
the pantry has given her the best source of
accomplishment, building relationships and
helping those in need.
Ford has been a member of TKA for six
years. If there is a committee that is being
formed to help others, she wants to be on it.
She is looking forward to many more years
of volunteering, knowing the day may come
when she is the recipient of a caring person
who treats her the way she treats others.
Ford takes great pride in helping people
and giving back.
“Being Jewish, it’s an even better feeling,”
she said. “We’re one big family.”
