Kacey Morabito Grean Named as Volunteer of the Year

Kacey Morabito Grean, founder of Let It Shine, Inc.—the nonprofit that “gathers love and gives it away”—was honored as Volunteer of the Year on June 11 at the Stars Along the Hudson Brunch Gala presented by the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber and held at the Abbey Inn and Spa, in Peekskill.

Let It Shine’s team provides weekly groceries to more than 100 families throughout the greater Cortlandt area from its food pantry in Verplanck. The L.I.S.A “Let It Shine Again” Thrift Store works to make repurposed home goods accessible to families in need.

From July through October, Let It Shine presents two outdoor markets: Cortland Fresh Market, in Croton, and Market on the River, in Verplanck. Both the thrift store and markets support the food pantry. The nonprofit also aims to connect women in the Hudson Valley with vital services and support.

At the heart of Let It Shine is a group of women that strive to live well and help others to do the same. Grean, also a radio host at 100.7 WHUD, is at the helm and also hosts inspirational Shine On retreats for women semi-annually. Congratulations to Grean and the other honorees.
