When did you start giving to issues that are important to you?

"Giving to issues that are important to me began in elementary school ... and they remain important but with further education, experience and exposure, have evolved and expanded. The ways in which I give include volunteering, teaching, mentoring, giving financially and being open to giving in the ways an organization or a community requests assistance. " - Yolanda F. Sonnier

Organizations that Yolanda currently supports:

Voices for Children, Howard County
Ujima, The National Center on Violence Against
Women in the Black Community
Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County
Columbia Community Care
NAACP
Howard County Human Trafficking Prevention Coordinating Council
HopeWorks
Grassroots

This is how you help build community - thanks Jess and Isabella, and all of our partners!
