VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHT: Meet Nina Tayloe. Nina shared, "I recently completed Faith & Finances at Advance. It was, without question, one of the most incredible blessings I have ever experienced. I was humbled and amazed by the commitment, humor and hard realistic planning each member put in. There was one participant, in particular who was a special gift to me, Miss Debra. I learned so much from her. I graduated having learned more than I could have imagined, but way above and beyond, I gained the gift of a precious new friend and real life hero, Miss Debra." Advance Memphis is grateful for our amazing volunteers like Nina and the relationships they build with our neighbors. #AdvanceMemphis #volunteermemphis
