Acknowledgements

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the following individuals for their kindness and generous contributions:

Ruth Marie Tearney. Ruth contributed to our agency throughout her life. When she passed away in 2003, she left us a bequest that has helped us pay off the mortgage and renovation costs for the building that Over-The-Rhine Kitchen now calls “Home”. She will always have a Special Place in Our Hearts.

Carol Grangier, who superbly managed the pantry as a volunteer for 18 years.

Debra Miersma and David Russell. After we purchased the new facility for the Over-the-Rhine Kitchen in July 2003, Debra and David took complete responsibility for managing the development of the new site and devoted innumerable hours to ensuring it would be ready for its grand opening on Thanksgiving Day that year.
