Office Services Manager, Lennar

“Giving back to the community is something that was instilled in me at a very young age. My parents, who had a very humble background, always taught me that no matter how little we may have, others have less. I have been contributing to United Way ever since I can remember. Knowing that we have an organization that watches over our gifts and ensures they are properly distributed and matched is a huge peace of mind.

“When I think of the United Way, I think of comfort ... the comfort they provide to those in need. I am proud to be a member of Women United and even prouder of the work they do in our community.”
