The Salvation Army addresses issues of hunger, homelessness, and financial stress in the community, helping people fulfill their basics needs of food and shelter, as well as providing a variety of other support services. As a part of the Salvation Army’s Advisory Board, Jodi has provided valuable feedback and incomparable leadership. She has been instrumental in making sure the outcomes, goals, and mission are achieved and known in Brown County. Her efforts help keep their programming funded, while she also guides teams and subcommittees. Their fundraising events have clear direction and profitable outcomes because of Jodi's involvement and feedback, while her donor engagement allows The Salvation Army to continue serving food, assistance, vouchers, and more to our wider community.

She inspires others to donate their time, talent, and funds with her motivation and voice. When onsite at special event fundraisers, Jodi is a friendly face, motivator, and convincing advocate. Although she serves in a leadership role in the organization, she is always willing to be the hands and feet with their social services and events, too, demonstrating that no job is too big or too small. She brings a positive attitude and creative ideas, and she is crucial to the development of the organization as a whole. Thank you, Jodi, for everything you do!
