REPUBLICAN-AMERICAN TORRINGTON — Deirdre DiCara is in her office on the second floor of the FISH shelter on South Main Street when she spots a former volunteer walking down the hallway past her door, which is wide open. The volunteer gives a quick wave when DiCara jumps up. “I have to give him a hug,” DiCara says, as she walks over to the young man and hugs him. DiCara is known by many for her warm, affectionate persona.She has a smile on her face even when you ask her what time it is. In her first year as executive director at FISH, or Friends in Service to Humanity, DiCara has kept her positive attitude even as she confronts the issues of homelessness and hunger. |
