Making a Difference

FINDLAY, OH (June 5, 2020) There are so many opportunities for fracture, discontent and hardships in our world. These stories often scream for our attention while the positive and praiseworthy stories are quietly undervalued, with little fanfare. In my role with the United Way of Hancock County, I’m hit daily with the reality of huge unemployment rates, the immediate needs of our community and the forecasts of what it means for tomorrow. If that were the fullness of the story, it could be bleak.
