Hebrew Free Loan Association of Pittsburgh recognized board of director and treasurer Debra Leff as our Volunteer of the Year in the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle. As a previous loan cosigner, auditor of a national nonprofit union, and small business owner, Deb brings a down-to-earth, no-nonsense and caring approach to meeting with applicants, chairing the audit committee and strategizing with the executive committee. Deb is often the first to volunteer help and recently organized HFL’s Latkes for Loans at her beloved Zano’s Pub House, raising awareness and money, as well as preparing pounds of latkes. HFL is grateful to Deb for her commitment to our mission.
