“Needing groceries is nothing to be ashamed of,” Pat Blake said. “We could all use a boost sometimes. These families need someone, and I’m happy that I can be that person to help.”
Linda Wilson lives at Willow Pines and is among those who have felt the pinch of rising food and housing costs.
“I’ve lived in several mobile home parks over the years, and I’ve never run across a manager like Pat,” she said. “She helped me with some rental assistance, and she takes the time to get to know every resident here and what their needs are.” “Money was tight — my mama ironed sheets for a laundry service,” she said. “She always made sure we had a meal on the table, but I do know what it’s like to feel hungry.”When Blake’s own marriage ended in divorce years later, she also raised seven children on her own, she said.
Besides keeping food in her residents’ refrigerators, Blake said she makes sure they have Christmas presents every year and that children have backpacks and school supplies.
