 Volunteer of the Week

Skylar Schultz wanted to use her talents to provide support and service for those in need. She embraced the challenge and wanted to see how much she could do as one person to help others. Skylar volunteers with Paul's Pantry as well as the Girl Scouts.
Skylar has helped Paul's Pantry achieve their mission by providing financial donations to support their needs. Her financial support through Girl Scouts has also helped the community meet the needs of providing safe and fun equipment for students to use each day.
While Skylar is somewhat quiet, she has a truly big heart and it is clear how much she enjoys helping others and has impacted our community in several positive ways. She likes to do good for others and sets a great example for those around her.
Paul's Pantry and the Girls Scouts would like to thank you Skylar for all of your efforts in helping our community become stronger.
