MEET RESHA DEFORER OF CARROLL COUNTY
Resha Deforer, mother of 4, who has been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, stops by Brass Hat café, with her mom Mrs. Sandra Howard, three times a week.
“These three dinners a week help out. Not just with cooking but with saving money and with paying bills during this pandemic,” said Deforer.
Back in 2013, her husband started to volunteer at The Salvation Army of Carroll County as a bell ringer. That was how Deforer and her family became closer acquainted with Miss Andrea Gill, a case worker for The Salvation Army of Carroll County.
“I was someone who needed Angel Tree assistance awhile back during the holidays,” said Deforer. “Because I have 4 kids, and my husband was looking for work, it was tough times.”
What Deforer appreciates about Brass Hat Café, especially during the pandemic, is that a nutritious meal awaits her. “Grocery stores in my area are lacking in food. You really have to fine tune your eyes to see what they have.”
She also appreciates the opportunities Brass Hat Café and The Salvation Army gave her husband back in 2013. “All thanks to The Salvation Army, my husband’s volunteering gig as a bell ringer attracted Giant’s attention. Giant saw what a great worker he was and offered him a job.” The networking from the bell ringing volunteer position opened his own network to career possibilities.
According to Deforer, Brass Hat Café is really needed in Carroll County. A lot of families are struggling to make ends meet. Even before the pandemic, there is a deep need growing with needs not being met due to a lack of resources. “It’s important to support Brass Hat Café & The Salvation Army so they can continue to help families survive difficult circumstances, such as unemployment and even underemployment.”
There is love beyond hopelessness & There is love beyond empty cupboards.
