Sheri Vultaggio
Able to Serve
Sheri Vultaggio’s dedication to Able to Serve is a remarkable example of perseverance, passion, and the power of service. Since 2021, she has consistently served twice a week, building meaningful connections and pouring her heart into creative crafts that inspire and challenge participants. However, Sheri’s journey has not been without obstacles. On Christmas Day 2023, she suffered a stroke, leading to short-term memory loss, as well as difficulties with speech and mobility.
Diaper Bank North Carolina
Michelle Schaefer did not set out to start a diaper bank–she just wanted to keep her newborn son out of the hospital. Despite changing his diaper more than 20 times per day, he struggled with diaper rashes and other ailments that required regular hospital visits for the first year of his life. As he recovered, Schaefer couldn’t stop thinking about the families who couldn’t afford that next clean diaper, which was essential to her son’s health. Â
Schaefer became, in her own words, “obsessed,” and she began investigating how families could get diaper support in her community.Â

At the start of the school year, Sarah Dias assisted her school’s technology librarian by preparing Chromebooks, issuing devices to students, and creating signage for the school library.

She worked directly with campers on various experiments and projects, serving as both teacher and mentor.
