OUR VILLAGE
It takes a village to support our community and to deliver 1000s of services each year. We have two awards to recognize some of the extraordinary volunteers and supporters that make it possible to help our neighbors in need. We could not do it without them AND each of you.
JANE SHUTT LEGACY AWARD
In honor of our founder and first Executive Director, The Jane Shutt Legacy Award recognizes an individual or family whose dedication to serve our neighbors and impact their quality of life personifies our mission above all others.

Mark and Debbie have been involved with Pineville Neighbors Place since the early days. This year we want to recognize them both for the countless hours of volunteer time they have given and the ongoing financial support they provide.
Mark has served on our Fundraising and Events committee for several years. He’s done many things to support our events and he shows up anytime we need an extra set of hands to deliver backpacks, put something together or anything else that is needed! His biggest impact has been with the leadership of our Food Programs. He volunteers monthly with our fresh produce packing, showing volunteers how it’s done and then delivering the food to families in need. Mark also volunteers with our quarterly mobile food pantries at Sterling Elementary School. He gathers the troops, shows them how to package the food, and then sets up the teams to distribute the food to the families. He makes sure we all stay safe as the cars go zipping through! Debbie joined our Board in late 2023 as our co-Treasurer and took over the full role in 2024. She definitely plays an invaluable role for the Team and the Board. Her reporting and analysis keeps us on track every month to ensure we are using the funds you provide wisely. She plays a big role in our annual audit, drives the budget process and monitors our endowment. We could not do it without her! We are indebted to both Mark & Debbie for all that they do for Pineville Neighbors and the entire community.
