Meet Holly Frew, a communications officer for the humanitarian group CARE. I chat with her about her missionary and disaster relief trips in my latest piece for The Alabama Baptist.

Assisting with recovery efforts in Haiti following the destruction created by Hurricane Matthew is just one of the latest disaster areas in 37-year-old Holly Frew’s life.

The former Alabama Baptist serves as the emergency communications officer for Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), an international humanitarian organization based out of Atlanta. She attributes the preparation for her life’s work to her upbringing at home and as part of Gardendale First Baptist Church.

“I’ll never forget the first time I saw poverty,” Frew said, noting her first missions experience was to Jamaica during her sophomore year in high school.

And after studying abroad for a semester during her college years at the University of Alabama, Frew discovered the need for volunteer work but she stuck to her plan to work for a pharmaceutical company after graduation. She moved to Atlanta and began her career.
