Morningstar
Continued from page 6 ognizes an individual or group that enhances the quality of life for older adults through volunteer work
Carol began her lifelong commitment to serving long before she became a resident at Moravian Hall Square in 2008, in fact, she began volunteering while she was in high school. While living at Moravian Hall Square, Carol has been an indispensable asset to the Good Spirit General Store and has used her talent as a seamstress to organize teams of residents to cut and sew clothing for earthquake victims in Haiti, cut and sewn skirts and shawls to help recreate a prom experience for residents, orchestrated the cutting and sewing of facemasks to keep residents and staff safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, and more recently she has spearheaded a project to sew clothes protectors for residents in Nursing Care and personal care neighborhoods. In addition, Carol is an exceptional baker who is always willing to provide baked goods for fundraising bake sales on campus.
“Many of us have had the privilege of working with countless amazing volunteers throughout our careers,” Morningstar Living President and CEO Sue Drabic said. “In all my 40-plus years of working in senior living, I have to admit that
I have never met a more humble, committed, gifted and self-effacing volunteer as Carol Freese.”
Together, Morningstar Living and LeadingAge PA congratulate Carol Freese as she is recognized as Volunteer of the Year.
