Lori oversees the intake process for all new applicants, as well as coordinating the transportation needs for our participants. After 22+ years with the federal government, Lori retired and thought she would enjoy some leisure time. However, that turned to boredom, and she needed something to fill her days. Lori began volunteering for SOAR in 2024 and, within a year, was happy to become an employee. She truly enjoys helping our seniors and has an appreciation for the enormous needs that exist. She is happy to be part of the team providing valuable support to the seniors in Frederick County.
