As the volunteer president of Meals on Wheels of Greater Newburgh since 2010 and a board member for New York State Meals on Wheels, Carole’s impact is truly remarkable. ??? We had a fantastic time presenting this award to Carole in the very community she has worked so hard to improve! ?? Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson of Newburgh, who nominated Carole, aptly described her as a “gem to the citizens of the area.” ?? Carole’s long history of serving others was commended by the Town of Newburgh Scott Manley, who reflected on her remarkable impact on the community.
