A few years ago, after being a loyal office volunteer for many years, Judy Paxton - along with her daughter Shelley Paxton - began supplying Clackamas Women's Services with bi-weekly food donation deliveries.  These food pick-ups and drop-offs have evolved into a weekly event that generously supplies perishable food items for both of our shelters.  Says Shelley of her mother Judy, "mom always believed in giving back and helping others."  Although Judy Paxton passed away last April, Shelley continues to loyally bring the weekly food delivery.  On average, a food drop-off consists of 6 gallons of milk, 6 dozen eggs, cheese, butter, bouillon, some vegetables and occasional special treats like cupcakes.  Even though Shelley recalls it was difficult for her to continue doing the food deliveries after her mother's passing, she says she continued because "it kept my heart whole."  Shelley says she volunteers her time and money to donate food to the participants at CWS because "children should not have to wonder if there is milk in the fridge when [they] wake up in the morning."  She acknowledges the positive impact her weekly food donation has in being one of  the many pieces that create a supportive environment at CWS for women who are leaving abusive situations.  Shelley's advice to potential volunteers: "find something that warms your heart and feeds your soul."  Thank you for all of the effort and time you have put forth and continue to put forth while volunteering for us over the years, Shelley.  Thank you also to Judy for all the years she dedicated to volunteering in her community.  Judy and Shelley's commitment to this movement is truly inspiring for all of us.
