Livingston native Tom Shellenberg and his wife Christine Hillegass are pillars of the Park County community, known for being incredibly generous givers, longtime volunteers, and proud grandparents.
We had the pleasure of hearing their philosophy on life and giving while sitting in Tom’s quiet office with walls covered in fine Western art. On the other side of the wall, employees and customers bustled through the aisles of Livingston’s Ace Hardware, which Tom has co-owned for twenty years.
Tom and Chris have truly lived “For the Love of Park County.” Showing their generosity once again, Livingston Ace Hardware is sponsoring the GIVE A HOOT Matching Pool, which inspires the whole community to participate in supporting their favorite local nonprofits during GIVE A HOOT, our month-long giving challenge every July. Thank you, Tom, Chris, and Livingston Ace, for your continued support!
