Lilly’s Heart Outreach was formed from the vision of the late Kenneth Lilly who transitioned to his heavenly home in September of 2020. He worked 13 years for McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. in New York as senior systems clerk at Business Week Magazine. He mailed discarded office supplies to the Missionaries of Charity, Bronx New York. He was a tenant organizer with the Chelsea Coalition on Housing. He
fought for affordable housing and helped prevent people becoming homeless. He was compassionate in helping the homeless. He volunteered at the Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen in New York. He also collected soda cans at work for the homeless. He raised over $1,000 in a New York City March Against Hunger Walk to benefit charities. He returned to his hometown, Princeton, WV to be with family and manage his rental properties. He continued looking for ways to help people. He collected donations of clothing, etc. to benefit Pam’s Place, a shelter for battered women, and Mark’s Place, a maternity resource center. He supported Amy’s House of Hope on Thorn Street in Princeton. He also supported the Outreach Ministry of his home church, New Covenant Church of Princeton, donating food to the local pantry, turkeys for Thanksgiving Meal boxes, winter hats and coats, and giving in any way he could to help. In honor of his memory and our desire to carry on his vision of Outreach we chose to rename the Outreach Ministry to Lilly’s Heart Outreach. He would be so happy to know that what was nearest and dearest to his heart continues.
