What PARC Means to Me: Donna

As part of our 44th year, we are sharing stories from PARC people to capture their PARC moment, here’s Donna’s: 

I’ve been coming here since the 90’s, have done a lot around PARC, I used to work in the clothing store, coffee bar as well as a relief staff member.

I’ve been a member of Money Matters since the start.

I like the resources and opportunities, it feels and is a second family.
