Community News & Involvement


Calhoun County is my home, and giving back is a big part of who I am. I’m proud to serve with East Central Alabama UCP, Anniston Lions Club, the Calhoun County Chamber as a Community Ambassador, and Meals on Wheels.

As a local real estate sponsor, I support events and organizations that strengthen our neighborhoods and make East Alabama an even better place to live.

Hunger doesn’t take the weekend off.

Millions of children in the U.S. count on free and reduced meals available at school to alleviate their hunger. Many may leave school on Friday not knowing when their next meal is. The Back- pack Buddies Program helps meet their needs by providing school aged children with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food for the weekend.

We are now feeding over 1,000 children weekly in St. Clair County, Pell City, and Leeds School Systems, but that number continues to grow. As the number of children increases, so does the need for financial support.
