The City of Moreno Valley recently named Audrey Trice as the 2013 Volunteer of the Year.
Audrey Trice has visited and volunteered at the Moreno Valley Senior Community Center for 21 years, since its doors opened.
Trice also volunteers at the front desk of the Moreno Valley Senior Community Center. She greets guests and answers phones to provide information regarding senior programs and activities. She provides referral information to guests for social service programs regarding aging issues, legal aid, housing assistance, transportation, medical programs, and nutrition programs to help seniors secure productive, safe and healthy lifestyles.
On Monday mornings, Trice volunteers to sort bulk bread donated by WinCo Foods into individual packages that on average provides bread to 75 local seniors.
The staff and guests of the Moreno Valley Senior Community Center expressed their gratitude for Trice's commitment to helping seniors in the community and for being such an amazing and giving person. Deservingly so, she goes by the name Big Mamma for her benevolent heart and for always volunteering for whatever may be needed.
Trice was recognized by the Moreno Valley City Council on April 8 and at the Community Connect dinner on April 9.
