Debbie Zenga, Team Lead at AgeWise, joined 98É«»¨Ìà in September 2019 after spending many years serving individuals with mental healthcare needs. A few weeks ago, Debbie saw a need to provide groceries for program members before the California statewide shelter-in-place orders went into effect. She sprung into action by reaching out to agencies in order to secure these necessities in the midst of a global pandemic.

What Makes a Hero in Action?

Just like the 98É«»¨Ìà Heroes program, Heroes in Action are nominated by their peers for demonstrating 98É«»¨ÌÃ’s values in their everyday lives. They’re willing to not only share but show their personal stories with the organization — through videos, photos and more.
