The Community Foundation of the
Eastern Shore’s Carol Steffy Spirit of Esther Fund contributed $643.00 to Pets
on Wheels of Delmarva, Inc., a local pet therapy program.
Founded in 1993 by a group of
dedicated individuals, Pets on Wheels of Delmarva, Inc. has grown to encompass
the entire Eastern Shore. The volunteer
teams of humans and their animals provide companionship and comfort by sharing
their pets with residents of nursing homes and other facilities.
Eastern Shore resident Carol Steffy
has created a fund at the Community Foundation to encourage volunteerism and
visitation in local nursing homes and senior centers. The Fund was established by Steffy in memory
of her mother, Esther Sinnott Moore.
According to Ruth Renkenberger,
Executive Director, Pets on Wheels of Delmarva, Inc., “We truly appreciate
Carol’s generous donation. The Carol
Steffy Spirit of Esther Fund will allow us to promote the importance of our
volunteer teams and how vital our canine companions are to the patients of our
local nursing homes and other senior centers we visit.”
