Fall-2023-Tim-and-Cora-Brown

Best known for their roles as Santa and Mrs. Claus during the holiday season, Tim and Cora Brown are so committed to St. Francis Reflections’ mission that they set aside two days a week to volunteer in both of our offices. Their administrative contributions are invaluable to the daily hospice care our staff provides. Their dedication and support are admired and appreciated more than we could ever express.

“With other charities we help people when they need it with everyday things like food and doctor visits. With St. Francis we get to be there in person when their needs are the simplest and the greatest, companionship and compassion.” Tim shared.

Our Volunteers are the heart and soul of St. Francis Reflections. Thank you Tim and Cora for all you do!
