It's National Volunteer Week! Like many nonprofits, volunteers greatly impact our ability to serve people in our community effectively. Today, we shine a spotlight on Tammie Brainard, CPA Tammie, a senior manager at William Vaughan Company and Women's Initiative treasurer, has served on our Fall Event committee for years, helping raise critical funds for our programs. Tammie believes it's her duty to serve and help nonprofits do more for others in our community. We're incredibly thankful for her dedication 💙💙💙. Here's a fun fact about Tammie: She is a longtime Parrot Head and has enjoyed many concerts with her Dad and Sister through their annual tradition! #volunteermonth #nationalvolunteerweek

Yark Automotive Group is proud to support Ride United, a program through United Way of Greater Toledo that helps fill transportation gaps in our community. To give you an idea of the impact of Ride United, we share a story from a resident who utilized the service. After a car accident, Taylor didn’t have a vehicle to get her to the doctor's appointments and meetings with a lawyer. During this difficult time, Ride United kept her moving through the process of recovering from her accident and getting back on her feet. Thank you to United Way for helping to expand equitable access to transportation in our Toledo community 💙🚗
