Community Leader of the Month: Bernice Dorsey

We are thrilled to honor Bernice Dorsey as Chester's Community Leader of the Month (CLOM) for her extraordinary dedication and service to our community. Bernice, a longtime resident of Chester, is a shining example of kindness, leadership, and creativity. She has tirelessly served our local churches, youth groups, and police chaplains, extending her heart and hands to support Chester and surrounding cities.

Beyond her community work, Bernice is an exceptionally talented quilt and blanket maker, using her skills in crocheting to create beautiful, handmade works of art. Her quilts, available for purchase on her website, directly support the children at Breaking Cycles, making her craftsmanship both a gift and a mission of love.

Bernice’s commitment to education and mentoring youth is equally remarkable. She has devoted countless hours to helping children and families achieve brighter futures, inspiring all who know her to dream bigger and aim higher. Her impact resonates deeply across Chester, and her warmth, wisdom, and generosity continue to uplift everyone she encounters.

Congratulations to Bernice Dorsey for this well-deserved recognition! If you know someone like Bernice who has made a positive impact on Chester, we encourage you to nominate them for the Community Leader of the Month Award by visiting our website and sharing their story.
