We’d like to take a moment to highlight some of our favorite volunteers and find out why they love what they do.

Meet Pilar!

I’m a temporary employee through the Health and Human Services Agency. This is my first year involved with the Our Promise campaign.

I love all of the new people I have met during the campaign, my fellow loaned executives, the United Way staff, the department campaign chairs, and all of the people who made the campaign possible. There is something special about the people who spend their days doing great things for people and pets in need.

I am no longer a State employee, but for years I donated through the campaign. It was easy, and I knew my contributions were going towards a cause that I cared about.

I’m passionate about children and pets. I donate to the SPCA and volunteer at Shriner’s Hospital and the Make a Wish Foundation when time allows.

I was thankful for the opportunity to work on the campaign this year. My time here has inspired me and encouraged me to do more for our community.
