The Red River Valley is full of givers. And Iâve been lucky to see some of them firsthand.
Last week, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Amber Moll, a wife and mother of six who lives in Deport. She and her husband Roy started an organization, Southern Faith Ministries of Texoma, that gives back to the community through free meals â and theyâre planning an upcoming coat drive. We could all learn a bit from the Molls.
Roy and Amber tragically lost one of their children, their young son Rodney, in an accident last year. Only a few months later, the family lost their home in a fire. And yet, theyâve pushed through. I canât say I wouldâve responded in the same way.
“I think very few true volunteers are looking for recognition for their efforts. Being able to volunteer is a great gift in itself,” Cheri said at the time. “I always feel that I’m receiving so much more than I’m giving. However, to be a Woman of the Year in Santa Clarita is an amazing honor.”
In 2012, Cheri was named the “Woman of the Year” by the Los Angeles County 5th Supervisorial District and Commision for Women, and in 2017 she was named the “Volunteer of the Year” by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.
Then, in 2019, both Cheri and Don were named the recipients of the “Silver Spur” community service award by College of the Canyons for their involvement in higher education.
