Nona Rutledge LIVES UNITED by “by giving back to the community with how I’ve been blessed over the years” as she works with guests at Catholic Social Services Choice Food Pantry. United Way’s Volunteer Connection is proud to recognize Nona as Community Volunteer of the Month for November.
A native of Hazard, Kentucky, Nora moved to Dayton in 1986. A mother of five, he worked at the Montgomery County Job Center until retirement. She and her husband were trying to decide what was next after retirement when he passed away. Nona threw herself into volunteering and has now been at Catholic Social Services Choice Food Pantry nearly every weekday for six and a half years.
“I love it!” Nona says. “My mother died when I was a month old, but the Lord has blessed me in this life. I have to give back!” Nona is also a volunteer with the Greater Allen AME Church pantry, and active in church affairs.
Debra Pendleton, volunteer manager for CSS Food Pantry, says simply “Nona is one of the greatest volunteers of all time!”
