Some people talk about faith. Others live it.
Terri Pesante-Close is a shining example of what it means to put faith into action — to meet people’s needs not just with words, but with work.
For years, Terri has been at the heart of some of our most meaningful efforts, from our annual Thanksgiving baskets to our Christmas toy drives. She leads with her whole heart. When there was a need, Terri found a way to meet it. When there was a shortfall, she found the funding to fill it.
Because of her dedication and determination, countless households across Southern Maryland have shared fuller meals and brighter holidays. Terri’s generosity doesn’t stop at donations — she spends countless hours picking up food, shopping for supplies, assembling baskets and inspiring others to give.
Her service extends beyond the holidays, too. As a valued member of our Fundraising Committee, Terri has helped make our biggest events successful year after year, ensuring LifeStyles has the resources to continue supporting those who need us most.
Her faith isn’t just something she speaks about — it’s something she demonstrates, every single day.
Terri Pesante-Close reminds us that true faith is found in the doing — in showing up, giving freely and believing that even one person’s effort can make a world of difference.
Join us in celebrating Terri for her generous spirit, her endless compassion and her incredible impact on our community.
