In addition to being a part of the Wednesday, Chore Van # 2
crew for the past 8 years, Tim Africano
also spends time volunteering at his town’s elementary school, tutoring 4th
graders in math, spelling and science, in addition to volunteering at Holy Name
Hospital where he helps out by
transporting patients and running various other errands for different
departments throughout the hospital.
When he is not volunteering, Tim enjoys long distance
running, reading and playing with his Old English Sheepdog.
“Chore ultimately is an expression of love toward our
neighbors in the community. To be a part of a program that keeps vulnerable
people safe in their homes at no cost to them other than that of the supplies
is amazing and awesome. I volunteer for Chore because I enjoy using
various tools, working with my hands to complete projects in a professional
manner, and for the incredible camaraderie I feel towards my fellow crew
members. We once helped a young woman
who had no use of her legs. This made me realize how lucky I am to be healthy
and able-bodied.”
To celebrate this incredibly impactful program that enables thousands of seniors and disabled individuals to live safely and independently in their homes, please join us at the 40th Anniversary of Chore BeefsteakDinner!
