She also worked with her church, St. Anne\u2019s, and her HOA. \u201cI was still looking for something, then I found the South Coastal Village Volunteers!\u201d she says. At first she took members to appointments, did errands such as grocery shopping, and visited members in their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today Fox concentrates on two activities: reviewing applications from potential volunteers sent by the Village Volunteers in Lewes (called volunteer outreach) and assisting one of SCVV\u2019s nonagenarian members, Lenore Thommes. Three days a week\u2014originally five\u2014Fox picks up her client and drives her to St. Anne\u2019s, including for 7:30 a.m. mass, unless bad weather keeps Thommes at home. \u201cVolunteering doesn\u2019t take a lot of time and the members are so appreciative,\u201d she says. \u201cIt helps people stay in their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox herself remains an altar server at St. Anne\u2019s. In her spare time, she loves to read, including with the SCVV book club. Good mysteries are a special treat. She is also planning a family reunion here this summer with her daughter, Erin, and her son, Tristan. \u201cI feel gratified that I\u2019ve done something good. That is very important to me,\u201d confesses Fox. \u201cI\u2019m paying it forward.
