Victor Morales has spent the last 17 years volunteering alongside his wife, Violet, in their North Minneapolis neighborhood. When she passed away this summer at age 90, Victor sent a much appreciated memorial donation to RSVP-- in memory of Violet and her love of volunteering. Victor and Violet worked together at VOA North Center’s food bank. “We went there every week unless she was sick,” said Victor. Generous with her time, Violet’s volunteer assignments throughout the years included being on a planning committee for North Center, as well as working as a tour escort, arts and crafts instructor, and receptionist. She also volunteered at North Commons Park and the Ascension Club. Meanwhile, Victor has lent his skills to the Boy Scouts and other local groups, and he continues to volunteer at North Center’s food bank. (We’re sure that Violet is watching with a smile).
