After retirement from a career in Market research and then working  in a school setting with special needs children. Terri was looking to volunteer for an organization in which her attributes would serve well. She found such an opportunity with Love Lifts Us Up. The fact that no one receives a salary and every donation  goes 100% to the families in need makes every hour Terri spends serving this amazing organization worthwhile. You probably will see Terri in her mini cooper picking up new and slightly used items that will go directly to the underserved families.
