United Way Campaign Cabinet Members Brighten Up the Hibiscus Shelter

When the members of the United Way of Martin County Campaign Cabinet heard the Hibiscus Shelter was in need of assistance with cleaning, they grabbed their cleaning supplies and went to work!  Members Dee Blount, Sarah Powers, Elisabeth Glynn, Amy Bottegal, Leslie Warren, Patty McAuley, Tom Whittington and Lisa Satur helped make the Tilton Family Children’s Shelter in Jensen Beach sparkle for the kids!  They cleaned walls, baseboards, windows, light switches, tables and chairs throughout the Shelter.  The Shelter is a 36-bed safe haven for abused children removed from their own homes.  This dynamic group of community movers and shakers did an amazing job in brightening up the children’s home.   The Shelter staff do an outstanding job taking care of the children and keeping the Shelter clean, but with 75 children annually living in the Shelter, extra helping hands are a blessing!  

 “As community leaders it’s important to set an example and give back.  Being Involved with the United Way of Martin County allows us to support so many different organizations including Hibiscus Children’s Center,” said Amy Bottegal, SouthState Bank, and United Way of Martin County Campaign Chair.

 Hibiscus Children’s Center is grateful to this group who worked hard to help give the children a beautiful home where they feel safe and loved.  Please visit us at HibiscusChildrensCenter.org to learn more about how you can get involved or contact Michelle King, Chief Development Officer, at (cell) 561-452-5791 or mking@hcc4kids.org.
