Marathon Oil recently awarded us $1,000 through their employee-based Global Volunteer Award Program. The program honors 13 employees worldwide for their outstanding community service, giving a total of $13,000 in charitable grants to nonprofit organizations. Tracy Capes, a Marathon Oil employee and one of our valuable volunteers, received this honor.Tracy is an advocate for the education and awareness of domestic violence in our community. She wants people to understand and be aware of this issue. "The statistics prove that it's happening in their neighborhood," she said, explaining why community education is essential.
As a volunteer for seven years, Tracy has served many roles. She helped with our Christmas Party, photographed the Bird House Auction, served on several committees and even monitored Harmony House visitations... just to name a few. Tracy has seen how her position as a volunteer is important for Open Arms and our community.
When asked her favorite part about volunteering, Tracy said that she enjoys "giving back to the organization and watching people be able to improve their lives."
We are thankful for Tracy's service at Open Arms and for all of our wonderful volunteers!
