Good Houskeeping Features Point of Light Honoree Kimberly Holder

Kimberly Holder is a volunteer for New York Cares. After the death of her mother, Kimberly began volunteering as a way to funnel the pain of her grief into something positive.  “Each time I felt sad or lonely, I’d sign up for a project… I’d often go to projects with a heavy (yet hopeful) heart and walk away from projects feeling lighter and happier.”  Holder has participated in numerous service projects including: distributing care packages to the homeless, painting murals, helping adults study for citizenship tests, and visiting the residents at Lott Assisted Living almost every month since 2010.
