By Dayna M. Reidenouer
A familiar face has returned to lead New Hope Community Life Ministry, which is headquartered at 248A Maple Ave., Quarryville. Deb Riddell was hired to fill the role that Neil Uniacke previously occupied for seven years, and she began her tenure toward the end of May. She previously managed New Hope’s Community Closet Thrift Store, 128 TownsEdge Drive, Quarryville, from December 2008 to May 2015. As New Hope’s executive director, Riddell will work closely with the Community Closet’s current manager, Beth Tyson. “I understand what that environment is and what the working issues are,” Riddell remarked. “The thrift store funds us and allows our counselors to charge lower rates. It’s a great place to shop and donate good clean items.
