2016 Enterprising Women Give Back
MICHELLE THIBODEAUX MARCH “I am on the Serve Team at The Church Of The King. I also donate gifts for children and adults to Pelican Athletic Club every Christmas.”
SHARON THIBODEAUX MARCH “I donate through my Church and to the Covington Food Bank. Year round I donate to The Samaritan Center, especially more this time of year.”
KELLIE BURKENSTOCK OCTOBER “Thanksgiving and Christmas are special ‘Times of Thankfulness’ when I gather clothing, home décor and food to give to families and people in need. I also volunteer at the Bethel Community Snowball stand, Carwash & Coffee Shop where proceeds are used to enrich the lives of the downtrodden in need. As I often quote Robert Ingersoll’s truism, “We rise by lifting others.” May God bless each one of you and our Nation this Holiday Season.”
BILLIE COMEAUX NOVEMBER“ The Christmas season inspires me to give back to the community. This opportunity often has me finding treasures bought, but not given. These items are perfect to be a blessing to our local community organizations.” Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord … Deuteronomy 16:17
JULIANA CHAN DECEMBER “To be honest, my mentality is to be kind and pay it forward all year round, not just for the holidays. I like to support our military, especially throughout our community. Even something as simple as paying for their breakfast and coffee when I see them in a coffee shop, which is something I actually did this morning. I have a special place in my heart for animals. I love to donate to the local SPCA, not only during the holidays, but throughout the year as well.”
