The creativity and passion of these women shine through in every donation item they handle from local families. They work together as a supportive community, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that fosters a sense of belonging. We have a matching group of dedicated volunteers that run the Hunterdon Medical Center Lobby Shop. They often work with visitors and employees alike treating each as a friend seeing to their needs or helping to answer any questions they may have. It's this spirit of generosity and kindness that truly sets our county apart, creating a ripple effect of goodwill and inspiration for others to follow. As we celebrate their contributions, we are reminded of the profound impact that a small group of committed individuals can have, not only on a local level but also in the broader tapestry of society.
