Fleece Blankets for Hoyleton Youth

 

2024 Hoyleton Enthusiasts

 

Roger and Julie Harris started their journey with Hoyleton in 2014 when St. Paul UCC in Belleville, participated in a local mission project in celebration of its 75th anniversary. Roger and Julie both had a passion for restoration and were inspired by the Hoyleton mission, so they continued volunteering at various Hoyleton locations.  It didn’t take long for Roger and Julie to get connected with Neighbors for Renewal, a separate 501c3 under the Hoyleton umbrella.  Roger is a key member of this group of local craftsman who support the Hoyleton mission.  Roger is also an active board member.

 

Roger and Julie represent what commitment to service looks like, which is why they are this year’s 2024 Hoyleton Enthusiasts.  Their dedication, support, and kindness will leave a lasting impact on the community they passionately support.”
