Nanuet Community Leader: Moldow Is 'Always Looking For Ways To Serve'

NANUET, NY — Without community leaders, Nanuet wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Jennifer Ogilvie, a Nanuet reader who nominated Valerie Moldow. Moldow's commitment to the community is deep and broad, including but not at all limited to Get Fresh Deliveries, a drive thru food distribution run by a handful of Rockland County organizations to give local pantries fresh and nutritious food for community members, and COPS Barn, which runs equine-assisted activities and therapies for children and adults with special needs.
