Many of the people who Daniel Hafich grew up with were involved with drugs or struggling with addiction. Some childhood friends and family members continue to live with addiction, while others recover.
It was these experiences that influenced Hafich to attend a public naloxone – often referred to as Narcan – training in his community in order to learn how to use it to reverse an opioid overdose. The meeting spurred Hafich to become a volunteer and work to better the communities around him.
Over the years, Hafich has paired with many organizations where he collects gently used clothing, prepares food and snacks, and gathers medical supplies and toiletries. The organizations he works with serve all walks of life, with all sorts of needs and at all hours.
He has walked the streets of Baltimore, Wilmington and Philadelphia in an effort to help. He has donated across states for natural disasters, and recently, across countries for war.
Today, Hafich is a telecommunicator for police with New Castle County. Hafich was honored with the Outstanding Service by Employees in the Workplace award Thursday afternoon.
Robert Moley’s commitment to service began when he was a boy, volunteering as an altar boy for his church and as a boy scout. As an adult, he became a major advocate for donating blood products through the Delmarva Blood Bank. He started when he was in the military and continued donating whole blood until 1990.
