FELIX BEZEREDY

East Boston

​

A pastor, Felix distributes information and health kits, such as COVID PPE, to churches and other Community Action Agencies. 

​

Felix learned about ABCD over 20 years ago while identifying resources for Hispanic residents in need. He later became a client of the ABCD East Boston APAC where he met then-director, John White, who motivated him to continue serving. Felix assisted John with clients and after a period of time, could help in his absence. He even covered the front desk. According to Felix, “John not only looked at me as a client or volunteer, but as a friend.”

​

Felix recalls helping ABCD clients who were being displaced find new homes.  He said, “The reward of having these seniors and disabled residents find a new home kept me going.” 

​

He spends his free time studying the bible and if his health allows, bicycle riding and walking. While honored to be selected as a community hero, Felix said, “I don’t do this looking for glory! My purpose in life is to live a meaningful life. . . [Volunteering] gives you great happiness and you can sleep better.”
