Following their Adopt-A-Day (AAD) of Nourishment sponsorship on August 26, Liberty Utilities sent another great crew on September 2 to assist the Bread & Broth volunteers with another AAD dinner. Just as they provide incredible service to their customers, the Liberty Utilities AAD sponsor crew members, Jennifer Guenther, James Martin, Kate Marrone, Chad Sousa and Kelsey Zieba, also provided the same spirit of service in helping others at their sponsorship dinner.
