And once again the Lab met the United Way's call for help. Betty Beeler, Debbie Bruhwel, Brian Carpenter, Isiah Daniels, Rick Gonzales, Denise Leary, Kisha Owens, Christine Snetter, Jerry Stokes, Ivy Thomas and Shilda Williams volunteered their time to work with United Way agencies. Volunteer projects ranged from serving meals to seniors, and replacing electrical and plumbing fixtures to painting and gardening.
Employees can support the United Way in many capacities.
Volunteering time to one of the 52 agencies under the United Way umbrella is an excellent opportunity to learn about the programs and services offered. Providing financial support is another way to give back to the community and help those less fortunate than ourselves, Williams explained. One of the easiest ways to give is through payroll deduction which allows for an equal amount of money to be deducted from each paycheck. To thank employees for their participation, gift certificates from local businesses were raffled off.
