Your United Way Dollars at Work

 

Eunice has lived in Northwest Georgia for over thirty years, spending time in her garden and preparing big meals for her family. Five years ago, Eunice began suffering from arthritis and was forced to give up her beloved hobbies. She was unable to prepare a hot, healthy meal due to the pain in her hands. Fortunately, Eunice recieved help from Meals on Wheels, a United Way partner agency that provides nutritious meals to homebound elderly. Now Eunice never goes hungry and enjoys a bright moment in her day when a friendly Meals on Wheels volunteer delivers her food. Your gift to United Way fights hunger and ensures that our elderly remain independent.

Delyn Ellis, current Board Chair of United Way of Northwest Georgia, began volunteering with United Way in 1999 as part of the Community Investment Panel. As a Community Investment volunteer she toured each United Way partner agency. Delyn states that she was "hooked from the start when she learned of all the wonderful resources available in our community."

 

Delyn has stayed actively involved with United Way because it covers the entire circle of life and creates a brighter future for so many. In addition to her roles at United Way, Delyn has been an active member of the Kiwanis Club of Dalton for several years and has served on the board of directors. She received the CJ Pinson/Bill Hall Award for service on two different occasions. Her passion and commitment to volunteerism ranges from annually participating in Scouting for Food, enabling the Salvation Army to stock their Food Bank, to recently becoming a "Big for a Day" at Cedar Ridge Elementary where she worked with children from Big Brothers Big Sisters.
