“My interest in serving the low-income population in the Wood County is to ensure that this population has a strong individual to advocate on behalf of this valuable and underserved community. The work of Great Lakes Community Action Partnership provides a much-needed safety net for our communities of need. As a retiree, I see this as an opportunity, again, to give back to our communities. I am dedicated and devoted to our collective communities. Having served previously on the GLCAP Board, it was the most fulfilling and impactful organization I have ever been honored to serve.”

“In Wood County, there are very limited resources. For certain food banks you have to reside in that city or in certain zip codes, which is totally understandable, but some zip codes don’t even have food banks. Clothing recourses are also a hard one especially for winter time. I believe that there should be better resources for clothing and food. As a child, I attended WSOS and now my son also attends Head Start GLCAP and since I was a child this organization has served a huge role in helping my mom with her children and now me with my children. I also have seen many Facebook posts of the summer cooling program helping people but then some people don’t know about it so I would like to advocate for those people and spread the word better. Ultimately, I want to help people in my community reach/get the resources they need!”
