We send a big thanks to intern Teresa Willoughby who came to WBCH from St. Andrew’s Church “Grace On The Hill” episcopal service corps, in September 2013. She’s been our market and library assistant, and receptionist. Teresa did SNAP promotion with interns from VCU, shared nutrition information with WBCH visitors, and compiled a directory of Oregon Hill nonprofits, schools and local businesses which we’ll have at the market info tent. She and her fellow GOTH interns made shopping at Byrd House Market part of their weekly food budget so we know they ate very well while supporting our local economy! Thursday is her last day as an official Grace On The Hill intern. We wish her well in her future endeavors!
