<\/a><\/p>\nEddinger donates to the Allentown Rescue Mission as an act of love to honor his late wife, Paula. Paula passed away from cancer, and ever since, Eddinger has given to the Mission on the anniversary of her passing. \u201cI wanted to do something in Paula\u2019s memory. I know she would be happy knowing that we\u2019re helping serve the men at the Rescue Mission. I\u2019m thankful to the Lord who blesses me with the ability to give,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Following the award presentation, Eddinger met with residents of the Mission\u2019s eight-week Transformation Program. He took time to listen to their experiences, share his personal story, and offer guidance on achieving success through a life of faith.<\/p>\n
Despite decades of generosity, Eddinger remains sincerely humble about his role as a donor. Instead of seeking recognition, he insists on praising the staff and the men seeking services, \u201cWhat I do is the easy part (he said to the staff). You\u2019re the ones walking alongside these men through their ups and downs.\u201d<\/p>\n
