In 2009, following three decades of military service, Judy Moore came on board the Hopkins County Community Chest as Director. Since that time, Moore has implemented needed changes a little at a time as the county’s population has grown and the community has evolved. Through constant networking and seeking avenues to expand services, Moore’s diligent and untiring work has brought the non-profit agency into a new era of providing assistance to persons in need, from residents of the city of Sulphur Springs tp those residing in the far flung communities of Hopkins County. On March 3, 2021, a proclamation by the Sulphur Springs City Council noting her accomplishments was presented by Mayor John Sellers and council members present in the Council chambers to Moore for her record of excellent service. Following her retirement, Moore plans to relocate to San Antonio, the city where she began her military career.

KSST’s Channel 18 TV held an enlightening interview with Judy Moore about her career prior to serving as Director of Community Chest in Sulphur Springs, and the military and civilian trainings which have uniquely equipped her to make a difference here. She hates to leave Sulphur Springs, because for one thing, she has lived here longer than anywhere else she’s ever lived! But her adult life has been spent on the move, thus she looks forward to the next phase of her life back in San Antonio. The link below will take you to the interview.
