Community service is a major aspect of who I am. I share similar values with the United Way, and I feel I can make a difference being a part of this organization. There is a quote that says, ‘what we aren’t changing, we are choosing.’ Being a part of the United Way, gives me a feeling of impacting change. I’ve lived in Crawford County my entire life. I’ve worked more than half of my life at Hershey, having been with the company in various roles for almost 30 years. I have raised my family here. I’m committed to making Crawford County a great place to live and work.
Being a United Way Board member and volunteer, I’ve learned so much about local non-profit agencies and have gained a lot of knowledge about the local resources that are available to help with community needs. I believe the role of the UW Board is to match those resources with the needs.
I read somewhere that Compassion is what compels us to ‘do something about it.’ United Way provides an avenue for me to help do exactly that. Don’t ever underestimate the difference you can make by volunteering.
