I donate 5% of my coaching income to these three charities. Each are close to my heart for different reasons.
The Family Pantry-Damien's Place The Family Pantry was opened by my late mother, Marie Hobbs, and in her retirement she worked there as a volunteer. Wareham, Massachusetts The mission of The Family Pantry-Damien's Place is to provide both perishable and non-perishable food to those in need so that no one goes to bed hungry. Founded in 1992 the Family Pantry-Damien's Place was started because of the needs of the poor in the greater Wareham/New Bedford area. Fr. Gabriel Healy and Fr. Tom McElroy began the pantry with the assistance of many volunteers, some of whom continue to serve at the Pantry.
