Join us in wishing Kim Burgess, our Director of Rural Engagement, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Kim has spent years connecting people in Lawrence and Orange counties while lifting up our youth. She believes every young person deserves a caring adult in their corner, and that belief shows up in everything she does for youth and families.

Thank you, Kim, for investing in tomorrow's leaders every single day. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!

Join us in celebrating Jenn Hottell's 22nd work anniversary with United Way of South Central Indiana!

Jenn has worn many hats at our org — leading communications, developing reporting systems, digging into impact data, designing graphics, launching programs, writing stories, assisting with grants and special events, overhauling our website, being tormented by social media, and connecting people to resources -- all while building lasting connections with our partners and community.

Jenn brings creativity, compassion, dedication, and heart to everything she does. Thank you for all you've done, and we're so grateful to celebrate this milestone with you!
