Deb Holman

The issue of homelessness in the area sometimes goes unappreciated in this area but not to Deb Holman from the CHUM Center. She works tirelessly on the field as the center's Street Outreach Worker. "Working with people experiencing homelessness who are living outside…meeting with them where they're at, trying to get them services and housing, that's what I do in a nutshell," said Holman. We thank you, Deb, for doing what you do and we thank our readers for voting a person who truly deserves to be known as Best Community Activist for this year.
