Citizen of the Week: Debby Townsend ‘a tremendous help’ to Dalton’s Greater Works

Debby Townsend has been volunteering at Dalton’s Greater Works ministry for a little more than a year and has impressed everyone who has come into contact with her, according to Dalton’s Greater Works founder and President Robert Hill.

“She’s been coming in faithfully every Tuesday and working in our clothing department,” Hill said. “She comes in when clothing is distributed and helps people find and pick out appropriate items, making sure they have the right sizes and the things they need. And she does it all with a cheerful and friendly manner.”

“Anything we need done, she is always eager to help,” Hill said.

Founded in 1996, Dalton’s Greater Works provides services to the homeless and indigent in the community, including through a food pantry and a clothing “store” where those in need can get clothing.

“She has been a tremendous help to us,” Hill said of Townsend. “She has a great personality. Everyone loves her, and we are blessed to have her helping us.”

For her efforts to assist Dalton’s Greater Works and to help others, the Dalton Daily Citizen names Debby Townsend Citizen of the Week.
