4 months ago I joined United Way of the Lower Mainland as a Community Builder providing the direct emergency response to support the most vulnerable members of the community amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.  In response to the global pandemic, United Way of the Lower Mainland, thanks to the generosity of our donors, and incredible support of community partners, was able to pivot, adapt and develop programs to address the most pressing needs of the most vulnerable neighbours, ensuring that everyone gets the help they need. We are working on bringing neighbours together, strengthening communities and igniting the desire in everyone to improve places we call home. We call this #locallove. The impact has been incredible: thanks to United Way support, people have received food hampers for their families, seniors matched with volunteers in their neighbourhood to get help with essential tasks, neighbours got connected with support services in their community. But our work is far from over!

From September.23rd - October 3rd I am participating in the ClimbUp campaign, where I will hike, run, walk and help raise funds to support our work in the communities. Please, join me! Hike, run, walk and donate generously! Every step, every dollar counts!
