Rita Green is January's Jefferson Award for Multiplying Good recipient. She's giving back to the community through her non-profit The Resource Hub.
In her world, one act of kindness spurs another, so giving back to others fills her life year-round.
“Laying in my bed, fighting for my life and they walk in with Christmas for my children, and they give gas cards for my parents for the commute because they had to drive forty-five minutes every day to come and see me,” said Green. “I’m so thankful for all of the volunteers, all of the donations that come in, we could not do it without that,” said Green.“You’re like, ok, this is why I stayed up all night, this is why we cried, this is why we were in the community, this is why,” said Green.
