Colleen started off at Just One Chesed doing data entry and research for Chesed Match. She moved on to dealing with case management. Today, she manages the Chesed Depot, a project of Just One Chesed which furnishes homes in Israel for lone soldiers, immigrants (both new and not so new), and needy families with dignity and ease. Her new role combines her appreciation for organizational systems and chesed; she worked for many years in Israel and South Africa as an administrative assistant in legal firms and has been actively involved in chesed organizations all her life. She has organized a hosting system for IDF soldiers serving on her moshav, as well as meals for community members in need, including the sick and mothers after birth. A mother of five and grandmother of four, Colleen made aliyah from Pretoria, South Africa in 1989 with her husband and then-ten-week-old daughter.
