Doing Good In Our Communities On Thursday's Access Utah

ucsd.edu

There are many needs in our communities, and there are dedicated individuals and nonprofits working to meet those needs. They sometimes don’t get the recognition they deserve, and you may want to help but don’t know where and how. On the next Access Utah we’re opening the phone lines, email and Twitter to give you the opportunity to spotlight a nonprofit or individual doing good in your community.

Amy Anderson Director of Outreach with the Sunshine Terrace Foundation and Holly Peterson President of the Board for Somebody’s Attic (both in Logan) join us for the hour and we’ll hear from representatives of other nonprofits throughout the hour. And we hope to hear from you! You can reach us right now at upraccess@gmail.com
