Community lifts hands and opens wallets
“We have seen tremendous attitude changes in our community,” said Horizons steering committee Nancy Gunzenhauser at a recent meeting. “Not only in our Horizons activities, but in other groups.” New volunteers and new donors have stepped forward, apparently inspired by seeing others’ contributions. Many local organizations, from church groups to service organizations to youth groups have experienced a surge in activity and donations. Those who may not have financial resources have donated labor to projects and events. It is exciting to watch the change of attitude among all economic levels.
