CMI Volunteers Honored at WNY Philanthropy Day
by Christian Hoffman
Community Missions was honored to attend AFP (Association of Fundraising Professionals) WNY Chapter's National Philanthropy Day event on November 15! We celebrated contributions made by local philanthropists, all of whom dedicate themselves to making our community a better place to live.
Two of our longtime volunteers, Kay & Bonnie, were honored as Distinguished Honorees. They have gone above & beyond for Community Missions with providing a kind & welcoming presence to our Niagara neighbors in our Community Kitchen!
Community Missions was also proud to honor our dear friend, Angelo Sarkees, as AFP WNY Chapter's Outstanding Philanthropist. Angelo donated $110,000+ to local food pantries, ours included, and is an inspiration to all that know him!
