Myra- UPO Volunteer

December 11, 2017

“My heart is service.”

Myra is a proud UPO volunteer! She was born with a heart to serve. It’s in her blood. She watched her grandmother and aunt take care of family members and friends over the years. Prior to becoming part of our volunteer family, she was looking for the perfect opportunity in which she could help someone else. She and her son were familiar with UPO and visited our Petey Greene Community Service Center, home to our Advocacy and Volunteer Division, and immediately signed up! That was two years ago!

Now, Myra is the Volunteer Coordinator for our Grocery-Plus Program, a collaboration between UPO and The Capital Area Food Bank! In her role, she oversees the production and monthly distribution of approximately 100 boxes of prepared food items for seniors. When not managing this program, she routinely volunteers at our community events and welcomes everyone with a smile. She is UPO!
