Today, we meet David Amess, Senior Vice President of Resource Development at the Pikes Peak United Way. David walks us through the organization's outreach programs, and how PPUW functions among so many other non-profits for the edification of the community. Additionally, David shares how employers can get involved with Corporate Giving Programs where employees can make a huge difference by giving as little as $5/paycheck to help others in the community meet basic needs requirements and more.
A great interview with a passionate leader in our community, David Amess will no doubt open your eyes to programs you may not have been aware the United Way is behind.
