Transforming Lives Through Service
Recognizing women that exemplify what it means to be community mothers.
Our namesake, Edna G. Neal, was a dynamic woman that believed in cultivating the very best in everyone. She was an encouraging soul who believed in the village approach, and as a career HR Director, she motivated and advocated for her staff and coworkers as if they were all a part of her own family. In memory of this legacy, EDNA’S Love, Inc. will annually recognize a deserving woman that exemplifies what it means to be a community mother.
Award Information
