She truly feels that “it is better to give than receive.” This selfless outlook led to her also becoming an Evangelist, where she serves as a treasured mentor, a trusted advisor, and an outstanding example to all who communicate with her. Because of her passion to give back to the community, Evangelist Moore cherishes the direct interaction and long-lasting relationships with everyone that she encounters. What gives her gratification is seeing families and individuals benefit from the harmony of C.O.M.E.’s various programs. Together with her husband and children, Evangelist Moore’s mission is to afford others the same life of love that she has. She is undoubtedly a gift to our organization.
