During his time at Stepping Stones, Gallagher was instrumental in the development of the Cairn House Shelter and the expansion of their Food Pantry and Community Connections programs. “He has been key in advancing the connection between Stepping Stones and the people of Dunn County, not only in service, but also in event fundraising, ongoing monthly giving, and personal connections”, said President of the Stepping Stones Board of Directors, Barbara Fagan, “Padraig’s tenure marks an outstanding growth for the organization and prominence of Stepping Stones in the community. The Board is excited for Padraig and for a smooth transition. We will support what has been developed and ensure our mission thrives in an ever-evolving community”.
Stepping Stones seeks to foster a community that prevents hunger, homelessness, and isolation throughout Dunn County. There is significant and growing need in the community and the organization currently serves one-in-nine households of Dunn County. Stepping Stones will continue to build on the work Gallagher has provided to continue meeting the increasing need.
