She stays aware of what is going on and is not afraid to
get involved and recruit volunteers to help with the next
mission. Talk about passion: she has it, and she doesn’t take
no for an answer.
She is deeply respected by her friends and her family and
is the most loyal friend I have ever met. She ignores the
“ugly” in people and chooses to love them just like Jesus
has commanded us.

“Gwen Morgan is a warrior for ‘the least of these’ in
Lubbock. Her heart is seldom at rest as she constantly
battles for good over evil to protect our children. And it
doesn’t stop there; she also rescues pups and cats: not one
in her neighborhood goes to bed hungry or feeling
unloved.

She delights in being a part of the Women’s Giving
Circle because it focuses on helping women and
children, giving them new hope to improve their
lives. You can often see her in a T-shirt and jeans,
feeding the homeless at St. Benedict’s. You look

Humanity with her shiny white pickup, helping
deliver supplies. If you drive by, you might catch
her with a paintbrush or a hammer in her hand.
