August 2009: Brotherton Community Champion

Congratulations to Paige Collins for being the

Brotherton Community Champion

for August 2009.

Brotherton Community Champions is about recognizing people who Give Back to there community. The nominees are selected on the basis of an essay describing what they do to make a difference...

"250 characters is not enough to describe how great Paige is. I could easily fill 25 pages with just what I've seen her do. Suffice to say she is one of the unsung heroes of Seattle and someone who I aspire to be like every day." -Michelle

"Paige sits with a client, going over insurance forms. It's not part of her job description as Manager of Providence Regina House in South Park, but she does it just the same. "I feel my job is to be the go to person for the community." Paige says as she smiles.
Paige Collins has become just that, the go to person. Each client that enters the food bank experiences her warmth, humor, and friendship. No one that is hungry is turned away. She helps clients maintain their dignity. There are special treats for the kids. She helps find other community programs to help her clients or South Park and supports community events.
If you visit Paige on any given day, you will see an array of people that stop by, for food or clothing, but to just say "hi" and let her know how they are doing.
For these reasons and so many others I nominate her for this award."

"Paige took over the food bank a few years ago and has brought it to new heights now serving over 300 families each week. She's a gentle leader, passionate and caring and she's fearless about helping the community. Paige certainly deserves my vote!" - Mark A
