In today's podcast, I'm joined by Margaret Ann O'Neal, president of the United Way of Central West Virginia. Margaret's hustle revolves around raising funds for the United Way, supporting vital programs in health, education, financial stability, and safety nets. She sheds light on the unique challenges faced by West Virginia, emphasizing the need to address root causes, especially related to substance use disorder and education. Margaret's passion for her work is evident, especially when she talks about initiatives like the Equal Footing Shoe Fund and the United Way Mobile Market, aiming to combat hunger in underserved communities. Her story as a former pumpkin farmer adds a touch of humor to her resilience. As our conversation concludes, Margaret urges listeners to contribute their time, talent, or resources, reminding us all of the impact we can make when we come together to support our community.
