When we asked her what brought her to United Way, she said:
"It was meeting Uriah and hearing him share the work he and others were doing together at United Way. I also learned how much support United Way provides to the communities around. I am a helper by nature and tend to go where help is needed and where I might be able to help make the world a better place, commitment and compassion at the forefront. I also feel being connected to United Way might help nurture a relationship between United Way and the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin."
Winona is most excited to help with funding opportunities, the Community Dinners program, and making connections that support United Way in our region!
Thank you, Winona, for joining us and sharing your passions with the Shawano Area! We're excited to learn and grow with you!
