United Way’s Hardest Hit fund, “HoosierCorps,” assists participants in exchange for giving them opportunities to serve nonprofit organizations in the community. Since July we’ve been lucky to have Vivian Shank, 70, assist HVAF as a HoosierCorps volunteer. Vivian spends 20 hours per week here spending time with the veterans and assisting in recovery and outreach with her experience in social work. “The vets have given so much. I wanted to give back,” Vivian said, as she revealed that her grandfather and father had each been part of World Wars I and II, respectively. “I can’t wait to get here on Wednesday. I’m supposed to be here for them, but instead they’re asking me if I want coffee or something to eat. They just lift you up.”
