Francis of Assisi taught “it is in giving that we receive” and I strive to live that principle every day which led me to volunteer with St. Vincent DePaul, specifically, the Adopt a Family program (now Christmas Together) for the past eight years. My husband and I are only children and we do not have kids, so I believe it is our mission to provide hope for families struggling during what is supposed to be the most magical time of the year. Lana is an active member of the External Relations Committee.
