Holly Spece, Founder

I’m a community advocate and founder of Let’s Shine, working to uplift Northeast Pennsylvania through faith, lived experience, and coalition-building. My goal is to establish the Susquehanna Warrior Reserve (SWR)—a care-centered initiative that connects people to health, mental health, and social services with dignity and compassion.

My journey began with personal hardship, including homelessness and uncertainty. Volunteering at Keystone Mission helped me find purpose and clarity. Inspired by the resilience I witnessed, I developed SWR to meet people where they are and build bridges between providers, advocates, and those in need.
