Teresa McCormick cared deeply for the Southern Oregon Community. While working at Harry and David, she discovered that many qualified job applicants would make it through the hiring process, but then were unable to work because they didn’t have closed toed work shoes. She then initiated a shoe drive and collected more than 700 pairs of shoes to those in need.

She was a key force in establishing the trust that Harry & David shares with the Southern Oregon area. Our community suffered a great loss when she passed away suddenly in 2007. Teresa left an incredible mark on the Rogue valley and her legacy lives on through the Teresa McCormick Center.
