PLYMOUTH— The board of directors of The Faith, Hope and Love Foundations has added Amanda Nartiff, Brooke Sullivan, and Laura Gruner, to its team.

Nartiff said, "I know there are many families facing difficult choices about what expenses to pay for, and for many students college is a luxury parents cannot afford. I'm glad F.H.L is in the community to help."

Gruner said "I have a strong desire to be a part of this organization and would be overjoyed to be part of this board.
