“I wish other people could see what I see and experience as a volunteer at the Y. Initially, I was surprised to learn how much need there really is in our community. It’s always been important to me to make a difference in the lives of others, but to have an impact in our immediate community makes it even more meaningful. Many local families have fallen on hard times. When they receive financial assistance from the Y, they are genuinely grateful for the Y's steady, constant, comforting presence in their lives and to have a safe place for their children. I donate and volunteer so that, no matter what, we always have the Y.” - Kari
