I wanted, quickly, to tell you about Anna Mitchell. She's the young lady in front, wearing the purple sweater. Anna's a sixth grader, lives in Marion, and every year she and her friends get together to make gifts - so they can raise money for United Way through their "Helping Hands Auction."
Anna and her friends worked for months on those gifts - which even included furniture they made!
All told, they raised $750... which is very cool. And, it shows that it doesn't matter how old you are - you can always make a difference.
Doesn't matter either, whether it's financial support - or the gift of time. If one of your New Year's Resolutions is to volunteer - we have some great ways you can volunteer in our community. All you have to do is click here...
