Leadership Introduction

From Jana Stump & Lesly Fenderson, Havasu Advisory Co-Chairs

Jana & Lesly

River Cities United Way is an excellent Non-Profit Organization that goes above and beyond with helping out in the Community. The Advisory Committee helps strategize new ideas to raise money for those in need of help.

As the newly elected Co-Chairs for the River Cities United Way Advisory Committee for Lake Havasu City, we are excited for the New Year and looking forward to the many wonderful upcoming events that our community will enjoy. We have a great team of advisers on the committee and would like to thank you all for your help in making these events happen.

If there are any thoughts or ideas of what you as the community would like to see more of, then please share. These events are to bring family and friends together and have a great time.

As community members, we are passionate about taking the time to give, advocate, or volunteer in any way possible. If you are interested in helping in any way, then RCUW is the place to go. In doing so, you will quickly learn how this organization impacts our community.

VITA Volunteers Needed

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) will be coming to our communities this upcoming tax season. In preparation, the IRS is looking to train individuals who are interested in helping others file their taxes at no cost. There is no liability placed on those who assist, and you do not need to be a CPA/Tax Accountant.
