ZELLIN LOWE
A longstanding member of the Freeport Community, Miss Zellin Lowe is the true picture
of a community spirit! Her love for connecting with people of all backgrounds led her to
work in the beauty industry as a hairdresser for many years before her retirement. This
was after her first entrepreneurial venture as a co-owner of the Dixon's Table restaurant
on Main Street in Freeport.
Miss Zellin, as she is affectionately known, is a member of the memorial Presbyterian
Church in Roosevelt where she has fervently served in a number of ministries. It was at
Memorial Presbyterian Church that Miss Lowe first encountered the founder of Your
Time For Creative Empowerment, Inc.
"I was drawn to volunteering with YTFC as a result of the special qualities the founder
possesses. She is able to relate conscientiously and empathetically to people around
her, and gives her all to helping children and their families"
