Doris Dunn lives to help others. The Moore County native has worked at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital for the last 15 years providing human services.

In her spare time, she runs a community coalition in the house where her grandmother, Cora Lee Person, raised her in Eagle Springs.

The house, named Cora's House: A Vision of Hope Community Outreach Program, offers various programs to help strengthen and support the surrounding community.

Besides serving as a clothing and donation bank, the center also runs a health club, and a senior citizens club that includes an outreach and support program, as well as a 4-H Club.

Dunn also organizes events that bring the community together. Last summer, she held a community softball game, and she plans to hold a basketball tournament this December.

With the support of her husband, Lee, her six children and others in the community, Dunn has spent the last 10 years establishing Cora's House as a refuge in an area where few supportive non-profit organizations are located.

For Dunn, her mission honors her grandmother, who always emphasized the importance of helping others in daily life.
