You’re not going to find the Cheer’s bar there, but it’s definitely a place where everybody knows your name. Especially the name of Yolanda Harris! Let me tell you, this beautiful lady is a woman after our own hearts! Her whole family believes in lending a helping hand. If you had ever met her Mom, you’d know that she has never met a stranger! That giving-heart has trickled all the way down the family line to Miss Yolanda. She has been and continues to be, the voice for the elderly in her community. Before she lost her sight, she took people to their doctor’s appointments, ran errands for them, and assisted in any way that she could. Once useable vision was no longer an option for her, she kept reaching out to those in need and found other ways to be of help. Then, the world threw in a pandemic in 2019, that’s okay, she wasn’t going to let a virus stop her from serving the elderly in her neighborhood. She picked up the phone and discovered a safe way of giving back to her little town.
