Leonardo Ellis

Runs the elderly befriending in Springfield

  • 🇺🇸 Springfield, Illinois, United States
  • Springfield Mutual Aid
  • 1979 to 1995
  • English
I've volunteered with Springfield Mutual Aid from 1979 to 1995. I started on a Saturday morning "just to help out" and never left. Our crew is about 30 people now. Everyone brings something. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

More about Leonardo

We run on goodwill and a very old kettle.
What gifts mean to Leonardo: Any gift will help us cover the hall hire this winter.
