Sharing Place Shopper Featured as Hometown Hero

Ruth Taylor shops as if it were her mission.

The retired officer who now ministers at Families of Slain Children, Inc., or FOSCI, on Myrtle Avenue literally sees shopping at Lutheran Social Services’ The Sharing Place as part of her calling  in life.

For several years, Ruth has visited The Sharing Place each Thursday to purchase clothing and other items with her own money. She brings those items with her to her church’s monthly food bank where she distributes them to the needy.

Find out more about Ruth’s story in this Hometown Hero feature with First Coast News reporter Chris Porter.
