Lee McQuade
joined Chore 5 years ago, after a career in Marketing, Sales and Training. He also continues to work part time, and will
be completing his 15th year with Enterprise Fleet Leasing. He volunteers his time with the Clean Water
Cleanup Association. When not
volunteering or working, Lee enjoys gardening, flying, sailing and hiking and is a
member of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Hackensack River Canoe
and Kayak Club. Lee enjoys volunteering
with Chore for the chance to help out elderly neighbors, the enjoyment of being
with his Friday, Van #1 crew, and the opportunity to increase his personal knowledge of ‘Do-It-Yourself’ projects. “The clients are very appreciative of Chore
activities in Bergen County. Some even
have baked goods for us. We enjoy
listening to the clients’ personal
stories of their own backgrounds
and past working experiences.”
Through grants from
the Bergen County Division of Senior Services and Office of Community
Development as well as from corporations, foundations and individual donations,
Chore operates three vans and has 45
volunteers. Crews, comprised of a driver
and from one to three volunteers, are on the road every business day year
round. To support the work of Chore in Bergen County, visit www.bergenvolunteers.org,
