According to the White House “Champions of Change” website: “All across the country, ordinary Americans are doing extraordinary things in their communities to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world.” Gina Liberali Cavallo, OOIE’s Volunteer Advocate in Passaic County, has gone beyond the doors of her assigned facility, Wayneview Care Center, to lend a hand in her community in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. Gina stepped in and organized teams of volunteers in the shore towns of Lavallette and Ortley Beach, and matched those who want to help with those affected – restoring the shore while restoring our faith in humanity.
As a result, Gina has been nominated, and is now a semifinalist, to be honored as a White House Championof Change and was selected by NJ First Lady Mary Pat Christie as a “New Jersey Hero.”
Our advocates really do make a difference in their community! Congratulations, Gina!
