Michael Snow, Lead Cook at our Centralia Residential Campus, has been donating $2 per paycheck since May 2012. This year, Michael has generously increased his donation to $5 per paycheck. "I want to be able to fully contribute to the mission we have, even if it is just a small part. The thought that my contribution could help a struggling single mom buy a pack of diapers or help out a youth in crisis is what makes it worth it." Celebrating nearly 13 years with OHU, Michael finds his most rewarding experiences in witnessing the transformations in the youth. He loves watching them leave our services with a new confidence and outlook on life. "The smallest acts of kindness and generosity can impact people in the grandest ways. Even if we feel our contributions are small and not going to make an impact, it can be the ray of hope that someone else was searching for." Thank you, Michael, for your support and dedication! #StaffSpotlight #GivingBack #MakeADifference #CommunitySupport #Inspiration
