She was happy to direct part of her contribution towards the Centre to help offset some of the costs of running them.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to see Trudy\u2019s kindness spread across organizations and love that both of her contributions are based on personal relationships she holds dear. That is the ripple effect we hoped to see throughout this campaign; giving from the heart, first &#8211; then the pocket and back again.<\/p>\n<p>Well done, Trudy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOAH:&nbsp;National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation Trudy met Scott &amp; Cindy (pictured) when she moved&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2463,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,13,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-75th-anniversary","category-community-connections","category-menno-s-martin-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trudy Gives Back to NOAH and The Working Centre - Menno S Martin Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mennosmartin.com\/blog\/noah-working-centre\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Trudy Gives Back to NOAH and The Working Centre - Menno S Martin Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"NOAH:&nbsp;National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation Trudy met Scott &amp; Cindy (pictured) when she moved...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.mennosmartin.com\/blog\/noah-working-centre\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Menno S Martin Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-05-31T13:19:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-05-15T19:34:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.mennosmartin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/MSM-75th-GiveBack500-FB-Noah-1024x538-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"538\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.mennosmartin.com\\\/blog\\\/noah-working-centre\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.mennosmartin.com\\\/blog\\\/noah-working-centre\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.mennosmartin.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/76a67a3a73c08a20677ef832afe0cb68\"},\"headline\":\"Trudy Gives Back to NOAH and The Working Centre\",\"datePublished\":\"2017-05-31T13:19:36+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-05-15T19:34:42+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.mennosmartin.com\\\/blog\\\/noah-working-centre\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":340,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.mennosmartin.com\\\/blog\\\/noah-working-centre\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.mennosmartin.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/MSM-75th-GiveBack500-FB-Noah-1024x538-1.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"75th Anniversary\",\"Community Connections\",\"Menno S.
