IMPACT OF FIRST SERVE

STORIES OF HOPE

“First Serve is like the gold pot at the end of a rainbow.  They are the answer to our prayers in North Hill.  First Serve creates excitement for many!  They are able to connect the dots and make things happen. Thus, on the Day of Service, the impact is not just on that day, it spans way out into the future with our community.” 

Phil Lombardo

City of Akron Ward 2 Councilman

“If I’m used to my own people, my own village, I’m going to stay with my own village. But First Serve brings everybody out, you work together, you intentionally put different people on different teams and mix it all up. So the connection is great!”

Patricia Wyatt

Co-Founder North Hill Community House

“First Serve has been instrumental by making things move forward. Moving those bleachers from back ballfield was a big job!”

Jeff Incorvia

Supervisor City of Akron Parks and Recreation

“First Serve is good at connecting people to resources whether it be clothing and food or students in Hudson providing them a place to do service. It’s great!”

Tessa Englehart

Manager, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program with Vantage Aging

“First Serve is good at building relationships between unlikely people and organizations who might not be connected otherwise.”
