My journey with the Delavan Grider Community Center started off slow but evolved into a heartfelt mission. My first impactful contact with the center occurred in 2020 when I organized a food drive in collaboration with a statewide fraternal organization to help support seniors who depended on the Center during the COVID -19 pandemic. During this challenging time, I also became active in my local block club, later utilizing the Center as a monthly meeting space. I began to spend more time at the Center, and through this experience, I built relationships with other community members and staff, working together to find ways to assist those in the community who might not know how to seek help or where to begin tackling their concerns.
I have dedicated both my personal life and professional career to public service, and the Community Center stands as our hub and a beacon of empowerment, serving the public needs. Under the leadership of Executive Director Candace Moppins, the center’s mission aligns with my values, making my involvement feel natural. My commitment has grown, leading me to join the Executive Board. I am proud to have utilized the services and programs offered by the community center and actively recommend and send my neighbors to the center.
As someone who was raised in the Delavan/Grider community, raised my family, and continues to live in the community, I am deeply dedicated to its sustainability and ensuring the Delavan - Grider Community Center continues to serve as our community hub, providing quality services and a safe haven for all who live nearby.
