Living United Is My...
"Calling"
Lindy
I'm Lindy and I don't just wear the shirt...I live it.

I give, advocate, and most of all, volunteer to help my neighbors in need.

As a volunteer with Trident United Way's 2-1-1 Hotline, I help people find what they need from a vast database of community resources. Or sometimes I just lend them an ear as they talk through their problems.

If you'd also like to volunteer in our community, give me a call at 2-1-1. We have a vast database of volunteer opportunities too!
