Friends in Faith: Melanie Cameron

“Never see a need without doing something about it,” Saint Mary of the Cross Mackillop used to say. My friend Melanie Cameron puts that into action.
In addition to being a devoted wife and mom, Mel always is answering needs. She is the executive director of St. Anthony’s Bridal, a non-profit in my area that helps brides on a tight budget have weddings to remember (and provides a good home for used wedding gowns). More recently, she’s galvanized women across the Diocese of Arlington, VA, to make masks for Catholic Charities. (Want to sign up to sew or donate?)
Mel’s example reminds me of the value of hands-on service.
