In past years, it was common for a large number of people to turn out to mark the annual observance of Martin Luther King, Jr.’ s birthday, Blanding Watson recalled
Truist, formerly BB&T, pivoted with its annual Lighthouse Project, turning it into a donation drive to benefit members of our community who are experiencing homelessness. In just a few weeks, they were able to collect and deliver supplies worth $7,300 for LancCo My Home.
One of the highlights of my year was the opportunity to work with nonprofit staff members throughout the county and the ability it gave me to see how open they were to being flexible and adaptive. It was so motivating to see my colleagues eager to learn new skills, working extra hours with volunteers to continue training and testing out innovative ideas.
