Roberta
Anderson Offers a Warm Touch
Roberta Anderson comes into the
Baxter office with a smile on her face, ready and willing to help us serve
low-income families who need energy assistance, especially during the
coldest months. She helps the staff stay on track with computer data entry,
working directly with families by phone and welcoming walk-ins facing
immediate need.
As a senior with many years of
work and life experience, she brings invaluable assets to our program, and
serves with compassion and readiness to advocate for those who face
desperate circumstances in their lives.
While people in the Brainerd
Lakes area benefit from her volunteerism, Roberta readily admits that she
receives, too. She epitomizes the real spirit of volunteerism a desire to
stay active and involved; a need to help others and give back to the
community; to stay connected with people, and a willingness to do so with no
expectation of anything in return.
With her support, Lutheran
Social Service reached more families in need of energy assistance in Crow
Wing County on many freezing nights this past winter. As we seek to change
lives through Lutheran Social Service, volunteers are right there with us
leading the way.
