| Susan Woods |
Susan is well known throughout the community of First
Presbyterian Church for leading a collaboration with the county jail to provide
Christmas presents and Easter baskets for inmates to give to their children.
She has worked tirelessly with the Chaplain of the Tom Green County Jail Ministry
and her church to make this program possible. Susan coordinated the collection
of gifts and essential clothing, the packaging of the items, and the delivery
of the gifts to inmates children during the holidays. Susan’s
passion and dedication have had a great impact on many in her community when they
see how she gives so much of her time and energy to those in need.
Susan is also very active and passionate about House of
Faith. She serves on the Board of Directors and volunteers for its Backyard
Bible Club. The Backyard Bible Club organizes groups of young children who
interact for three hours a week, under adult supervision. Susan has helped lead groups for more than 12
years. She is known for never missing a day and making it her goal to make each
and every child she works with feel special. It is evident that Susan has a
passion for helping people, whether by providing extra clothing for children at
Lamar Elementary, or meals for the elderly.
Susan has completed more than 720 hours of volunteering in the past 15
years for Meals for the Elderly alone. Susan is known for working under the radar and never seeking recognition
for her tireless efforts, but everyone knows she is the person to turn to when
the community is in need. Susan
exemplifies the character that Girl Scouts seeks to build in its members and
she serves as a shining example of what one person can accomplish.
