Pat Romeri (left) and Joyce Patton (right) are regular faces at URM. They each come in without fail on a weekly basis to serve lunch to the guests and residents at the Mission. Pat joined the URM team 2 years ago. Joyce joined the team 1 year ago. Both women have been dedicated to their personal commitment and volunteer schedule since joining our team of volunteers.

Pat and Joyce, you are an inspiration! Thank you for your heart and dedication to touching lives and serving the homeless community. You are a joy to serve with.
