Driven to Give Back

As a guest to the Dining Room during our senior service hour, Eldina Tronco is regularly served meals by our team of volunteers.  Little did we know she is also quite the volunteer herself. When Eldina came to the Dining Room for a meal of Hungarian Goulash on Thursday, she brought along a certificate congratulating her on 3,254 hours of volunteer service at Laguna Honda Hospital, a city-owned long-term care and rehabilitation hospital serving seniors and adults with disabilities.

Eldina volunteered in the hospice care department at Laguna Honda, providing companionship to patients and helping to organize medical records for the staff.  Still driven to give back, she is transitioning away from helping strangers to focus on caring for her ailing brother.  Thank you for your service, Eldina—you’re an inspiration to us all!
