“Paws Up” – brought to you by the PVM Wellness Committee

Today we want to give a high five to everyone who makes the PVM Food Pantry possible. A staff member reached out to say, “Everybody is so helpful with volunteering, asking what they can do to help out, and jumping in if we ever need to fill in for a volunteer who can’t do their shift. The pantry could not be open and as effective without all the wonderful volunteers. THANK YOU!” And a separate submission was also made to highlight Amanda Taylor, lead administrative assistant in Student Services, stating, “I’m really grateful for Amanda’s efforts toward making the ACE Food Pantry available to our students, faculty, and staff here at PVM. It’s reassuring to know that fewer people in our community will suffer from food insecurity due to Amanda’s leadership. Additionally, the toy drive she puts together every year around the holidays is an added bonus which demonstrates her generosity of spirit. She even makes it really easy for our community to donate by highlighting frequently requested items online for us, so we get to also feel good about our contributions.”

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today? It’s easy to make a Paws Up submission – just follow this link. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for length. Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. For more information, visit the PVM Wellness Committee website.
