PITTSBURGH — Volunteers came to Catholic Charities in Downtown Pittsburgh to pack dental care kits for those in need on Sunday.
“We serve over 30,000 clients through our six-county footprint at Catholic Charities,” said Angie Zambito Hill, chief development officer at Catholic Charities Pittsburgh.
Service is something Peg Durachko and her first husband, Dr. Rich Gottfried, valued immensely. “He and I both volunteered as dentists back when Catholic Charities was located on Ninth St.,” Durachko said.
Durachko was referring to Dr. Gottfried. He was killed in the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting on Oct. 27, 2018. Sunday’s volunteer project is in his memory, as is the dental clinic on the third floor of the Catholic Charities building downtown.
“His legacy relates to the way that we serve our clients with compassion and dignity,” Zambito Hill said.
