Celebrating Conor and Rae McKee: 2025 Rita Patz Good Neighbor Award Recipients


Today, we are thrilled to honor Conor and Rae McKee, recipients of the Rita Patz Good Neighbor Award!

As members of Bell’s Monthly Giving Club, Conor and Rae’s generosity shines year-round. Their Adopt-a-Day at Bell Family Shelter commemorates the anniversary of when they moved to York—a heartfelt tribute to the community they love and call home.

“People who jump right into their new community are my kind of people,said Averie Clark, Director of Community Engagement. The McKees’ impact is felt far and wide—from supporting Give Local York, to refreshing the space at our Next Door Program with Rae’s design expertise and to volunteering to host a birthday celebration at Bell Family Shelter.

Their commitment to fostering light, warmth, and compassion enhances Bell’s service programs and highlights the importance of community engagement.

We are deeply grateful to Conor and Rae for their kindness and commitment to making York a better place for all
