Cathy Kelleher receives Hilltop’s Q2 2025 Volunteer Mission Award

We are pleased to honor Cathy Kelleher as Hilltop’s Q2 2025 Volunteer Mission Award champion. Nominated by Ani Breedlove, Life Enrichment Manager at The Commons, Cathy demonstrates Hilltop’s values of relationship, inclusivity, courage, and integrity.

Cathy began volunteering at The Commons in October of 2021. Cathy hosts “Cathy’s Culinary Corner”, on Friday afternoons, in The Commons Café, where she brings new and old recipes for residents to enjoy. Cathy provides an inviting environment where residents share memories or favorite stories about recipes, food, cooking, or baking. And best of all, they get to enjoy the delicious, fresh treat at the end of class!

Ani Breedlove said, “I want to personally express my appreciation for Cathy. She has built supportive relationships with the residents who regularly attend her classes. She has a wonderful rapport with the group and makes sure everyone feels included.” Breedlove added,” Cathy makes sure our residents are set up with tea and cookies before she starts cooking the recipe of the day. Her glowing smile and laughter add to the ambiance.”

“The time, talent and treasure Cathy contributes is priceless and impactful. Cathy’s generosity, dependability and enthusiasm amplify Hilltop’s mission, creating connection to build a community where everyone belongs,” stated Rachelle Horner, Volunteer Administrator.

Will Hays, President of Hilltop Community Resources presented the award to Cathy. Upon receiving the award, Cathy said, “It is an honor to give back and pay it forward. We all need each other.”

Congratulations Cathy and thank you for everything you do for Hilltop and our community
